Resumen
Descripción
The number of pastoralists around the world is estimated to be between 200 and 500 million. Pastoralism provides a major boost to agriculture by providing manure, livestock, labour and knowledge. International organizations have increasingly shown interest in and support to pastoralists, yet, at national level, pastoralist policies remain rare. With their unique cultural particularities –nomadic life, transnational status and mobility –pastoralists have often been marginalized and overshadowed by more dominant groups, such as small crop farmers. The enhanced knowledge base on their breeds, feeds, land management and early warning was expected to contribute to enhancing their livelihood options and strategies.
