Ce livre offre une perspective unique et une compréhension profonde d'un monde qui change rapidement, avec des contributions des praticiens et des académiciens. En dépit des contraintes et des idées préconçues, le pastoralisme continue à jouer un rôle substantiel dans le développement social et économique dans la région Afrique de l'Ouest comme ailleurs, et dans l'intégration régionale. Les caractéristiques innées de la mobilité et de l'adaptabilité signifient que le pastoralisme demeurera crucial pour les moyens de subsistance résilients. Ce livre présente des zones de production et de consommation établies et nouvelles, et démontre l'évolution rapide des chaînes de valeur pastorale.

Pastoralism is a practice that makes the best use of natural resources in the context of sustainability, availability, and environmental limitations, while producing wealth for the herder families as well as for the nation. This photo feature traces the lifestyle of some of these nomadic herders and shows the hardships they face with a shrinking of their resource base. It serves as a soft advocacy tool and calls for a benevolent state to protect the interests of the pastoralists.

Pastoralists are believed to form 7% of India’s population, i.e., about 88 million people, inhabiting mainly the arid and semi-arid areas of the country. Pastoralism – an old dynamic production system prevalent throughout the world – is economically productive and ecologically sustainable, and uses variability in a positive way. Yet, pastoralism does not get the recognition it deserves. This paper discusses the benefits and challenges of pastoralism and gives ten recommendations how to strengthen pastoralism in India.

In the Sahel, around 65% of the active population works in the agriculture sector and their livelihoods are therefore affected by climate change, markets and environmental factors.
To address these recurrent crises, analytical tools to assess the situation and identify vulnerable
populations have been set in place in the region and refined in recent years. In addition, innovative practices have been developed, to support risk reduction, climate change adaptation, the fight against malnutrition and social protection.
This booklet presents 11 good practices organized around 5 themes, including livestock, with a particular focus on pastoralism.
