Pastoralists face huge challenges in trying to sell what they produce. This book describes how to improve the markets for pastoralist products and help pastoralists overcome the cycle of poverty. The book focuses not just on pastoralists but also on other actors in livestock value chains, including traders, processors and service providers and development organizations.
Drawing on 15 cases from nine countries, this book identifies four key features of pastoralism in Africa (mobility, extensive grazing, the use of common land, and local breeds). It presents the challenges and opportunities of marketing live animals, meat, milk and leather products. It discusses better ways to ensure that pastoralists have the inputs they need to produce efficiently. It looks at three aspects of the skills and organization needed for pastoralist markets to function. Finally, it makes recommendations for government and donor policies, and discusses the best places for development efforts to intervene in order to improve marketing.

This document presents the results of an initiative, begun in 1999, that introduced co-management in four different ecosystems in Mongolia. It was based on the hypothesis that under Mongolian state ownership of pastureland and private ownership of livestock, a co-management system—with clear roles and responsibilities among herders, their communities and local governments—could offer a means to reduce the pasture degradation and overgrazing. The efforts demonstrate that if all stakeholders strongly support co-management it can be a tool to overcome the "tragedy of the commons."

Drawing on research from Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan and Tanzania the paper looks at the significance of pastoralism as a productive economy and the positive bearing it has on the environment, wildlife conservation, and on the health and well-being of pastoral communities. The paper also reflects on what is at stake when one form of land use is replaced by another and when customary rules and practices regarding land access, land use, and traditional law are not fully recognised by policy makers.

This publication presents the availability, access and utilization of crop residues and agro-industrial by-products in West Africa. It contributes to the efforts to strengthen mechanisms to establish and maintain feed assessments in West Africa. National feed assessments in a country build and improve resilience in its livestock production, support the formulation and implementation of livestock policies and programmes for sustainable livestock production, contribute to the use of appropriate feeding strategies, and respond to the impact of floods and drought.

This article addresses the politics and practices of natural resource rights with a view to environmental justice. Struggles over identity politics at different geographical scales have become important mediators of claims for justice with respect to resource rights. Analyses of identity-based claims for environmental justice have usually focused on the indigenous peoples’ movement. This article focuses on the emerging global pastoralists’ movement. In recent years, mobile pastoralists have begun to carve out new global spaces, through which diverse groups have tried to negotiate common ground and forge common identities in their struggles for justice. They have become increasingly visible in nature conservation politics and in contests over land rights, claiming to be “custodians of the commons” in an era of global climatic change. The paper draws on empirical work amongst pastoralists, NGOs and activists from Kenya, Mongolia and Spain to explore these identities, their implications for resource rights, and the chains of accountability and legitimacy between global activists and local pastoralists.
