Pastoralism
- Too many people, too few livestock: Pastoralism in crisis?
- The Future Agricultures Consortium has recently held an e-debate on its website regarding the viability of pastoralism in the Greater Horn of Africa region. The pessimistic position is that there is a structural imbalance between humans, livestock, natural environment and technology, with the solution being a sustained effort to reducing the number of people dependent on pastoralism - and very substantial funding. In response, a range of pastoral analysts voices voice their opinions.
