This report responds to heightened concerns over rising levels of farmer-herder conflict across a wide band of semi-arid Africa. We assess the quantitative evidence behind this general impression and review the explanations in the scientific literature, in the light of known issues with long-standing attitudes towards pastoralism and mobile populations.

Despite the prevailing public narrative that transhumance is a fading practice in rural Spain this paper documents an example of revitalization of transhumance. This study documents that the primary reason for maintaining or taking up transhumance is its relative profitability compared to semi-extensive livestock husbandry. Collecting primary data on the costs and revenues associated with three types of operations (transhumance on foot, transhumance on truck and semi extensive production) the study compared these three operation types. The analysis demonstrates that under most scenarios, transhumance on foot is the most profitable production system and both transhumance systems outperform semi-extensive systems.

‘“Business as usual” is no longer an option for a food-secure future. Pastoralism can be an innovative system: a time-tested, undervalued alternative to high-input and resource-intensive farming, and a valuable lesson for the much needed evolution towards ‘farming with nature’, with largely-untapped potential for income growth and employment in marginal areas.
This poster highlights the top 10 benefits of investing in pastoralism.

The Land Tenure Journal is published by FAO as a medium for the dissemination of information and views on tenure of land and other natural resources in the framework of the Voluntary Guidelines for the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security (VGGT) which is a standard for FAO’s work on tenure. The audience consists of people having interest in tenure of land and other resources in its broadest technical, economic, political and social senses. The prime beneficiaries include practitioners and professionals from international and national agencies, central and local governments, civil society organizations and academia. Articles are published in English, French or Spanish. The content of the Journal reflects the versatile priorities of FAO’s Tenure Governance normative and field programs as well as priorities of the Journal’s audience. The Journal aims to present a holistic and politically, culturally and regionally diversified view on tenure of land and other natural resources.

‘“Business as usual” is no longer an option for a food-secure future. Pastoralism can be an innovative system: a time-tested, undervalued alternative to high-input and resource-intensive farming, and a valuable lesson for the much needed evolution towards ‘farming with nature’, with largely-untapped potential for income growth and employment in marginal areas.
Two main points are made. First, pastoral systems are emblematic of farming with nature: they have evolved to function with the natural environment and therefore with variability; for this reason, pastoralism has great potential in addressing the Sustainable Development Goals in a climate-change scenario where variability is globally on the increase. Second, pastoral systems have been looked at with the wrong lenses: conventional modelling and economic analysis of livestock production are locked into a view of the animal in isolation from the natural environment, and a view of variability as a constraint.

L’étude dont ce rapport est issu a analysé le contexte institutionnel des jeunes migrants issus de milieux pastoraux et leurs perceptions publiques au Burkina Faso (Février 2019 à Ouagadougou, Mars 2019 à Bobo Dioulasso et Dori). Le rapport traite trois questions principales: la perception publique des migrations vers les villes et des jeunes issus de milieux pastoraux ; les services existants ciblant ces jeunes (formation professionnelle, scolarisation, soutien à l’inclusion sociale et/ou économique) ; les actions potentielles d’inclusion économique et sociale des jeunes migrants d’origine pastorale.

Un faible niveau de scolarisation, l’absence de formation professionnelle et la marginalisation justifient une réflexion spécifique pour améliorer l’inclusion sociale et économique des jeunes pasteurs. Cette étude analyse le contexte institutionnel d’intégration des jeunes issus de milieu pastoraux en ville et les perceptions publiques au Tchad (Janvier 2019 à N'Djamena, Février 2019 à Dourbali). Trois enjeux principaux sont traités : la perception publique des migrations de jeunes des régions pastorales et du pastoralisme ; les services existants concernant ces jeunes ; les actions potentielles de soutien à l’intégration des jeunes migrants des régions pastorales vers les villes. Les principaux résultats de cette étude sont: Le manque de données résulte et entretient des divergences de perceptions entre acteurs publics sur les besoins des jeunes pasteurs au Tchad. La question du soutien aux jeunes pasteurs dans la société tchadienne ne constitue pas un enjeu d’action publique.

Au Tchad, les migrations temporaires vers la Lybie, le Soudan et les sites d‘orpaillage sont entravées par la crise sécuritaire et réprimées par l’armée. La diversification des économies familiales pastorales varie selon les groupes (Kreda, Arabes, Peuls). Les institutions familiales et communautaires jouent un rôle clé dans l’intégration urbaine. Au Burkina Faso, les migrations sont stimulées par une crise pastorale complexe, aiguisée par l’affaiblissement des droits fonciers et le ralentissement du transfert inter générationnel des droits sur le bétail. Trois manières de prendre en compte ces nouvelles connections entre milieux rural et urbain sont: 1) soutenir les systèmes pastoraux; (2) fournir aux campements pastoraux des services sociaux de base, en particulier l’accès à l’éduction; (3) reconnaitre le droit de combiner la mobilité pastorale et l’accès aux droits civiques nationaux.
