The first edition of a biannual magazine supported by the Karamoja Development Forum, this publication gives a glimpse into the life of a Karamajong herder. It compiles essays, opinion pieces and articles by individuals who come from the Karamoja region of Uganda, spanning pertinent issues such as climate change, resilience, trans-border migration, livestock economy and adapted technologies. As Karamoja emerges from the shadows of decades-long armed conflict, the magazine serves to give a voice to the previously voiceless, and shine the spotlight on pastoralism once again.

Pastoralism from a temporal dimension is as old as the first human civilization; and spatially it is witnessed all across the world’s dry belt region. Pastoralists and their way of life are yet to receive the attention they deserve, since current development paradigms emphasize intensive and sedenterized farming systems to fulfill the increasing demand for food. Further, there are limited studies and indepth integrated research that help us to understand pastoralism in a holistic way. This study addresses the critical gap in knowledge regarding gender experiences in pastoralism through the synthesis and analysis of five case-studies from the Hindu Kush Himalayan region. The authros argue that pastoralist women are often at the 'margins of margins' of development, yet the knowledge, agency and voices of both men and women are critical for systainable mountain environments and livelihoods.

This publication compares traditional sheep and goat production systems in the Mediterranean that rely on local resources, short supply chains and artisanal transformation practices with value chains based on agribusiness models that use mass distribution channels, concentrate processing work, and intensify production systems. This diversity of production systems has provided many different products, shaped a variety of environments and landscapes, maintained territories and arable and pastoral land uses, and fixed populations in the rural areas.  The document compiles the contributions presented at the 15th Seminar of the FAO-CIHEAM Sub-Network on Sheep and Goat Nutrition, held in Montpellier, France in 2015.
