Safe and sustainable pastoralism | Global Landscapes Forum

ABOUT THE EVENT

The session will highlight the initial findings of a study and project titled “Safe and sustainable pastoralism as a bold agroecology climate solution,” co-implemented by the Réseau Billital Maarobe (RBM) and ILC in Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger. This project aims to demonstrate and strengthen pastoralism as a key agroecological practice for climate-resilient livelihoods and sustainable food systems.

WHAT WE WILL LEARN

1. What are the outcomes from the project?
2. In what ways is pastoralism an agroecological practice?
3. What are the challenges faced by pastoralists as agroecology practitioners and what solutions are proposed by the study?
4. How can the findings of the study inform pastoralists-sensitive policies and practices in Kenya and Africa?
