Il caso di studio del Triveneto è preso in considerazione, per analizzare i cambiamenti che hanno caratterizzato la pastorizia e le sue relazioni con la gente e con il territorio. Il contributo mira da una parte ad illustrare le interrelazioni importanti tra pastorizia e biodiversità, e dall’altra le evoluzioni del lavoro nel settore della pastorizia in seguito alla ristrutturazione del settore ed al recente contributo dell’immigrazione.

Immigrants currently represent a key strategic asset in tackling the lack of a workforce, problems of generational renewal in agriculture and the abandonment of rural areas.

Nori et Scoones 2019 Pastoralism

project, its objectives and early implementation. PASTRES investigates the principles inspiring the strategies and the
practices applied by pastoralists to tackle and live with and through uncertainties. By engaging in a dialogue with
other disciplines, we believe that such principles can be applied to other domains relevant for societal uncertainties,
including migration governance, the management of critical infrastructure, financial regulation, epidemic control
and others. The project started in late 2017 and this report provides some updates on its development.

PASTRES - Herding through uncertainties – principles and practices

PASTRES - pastoral principles and practices, 2020

Lessons from pastoralists, we argue, may help other domains to develop more effective responses to uncertain contexts. Following prof. Scoones’ paper What is uncertainty and why does it matter ?, this is one of two papers developed with a view to analyse and reflect on the interfaces and interrelationships between pastoral societies, the uncertainties that embed their livelihoods, and the related coping/adaptive principles, strategies, and practices. Through a structured review and a meta-analysis of existing literature, the environmental, market, and governance dimensions characterizing uncertainty for pastoralists are explored in six different settings: a) Central and southern Asia, with specific references to the Tibetan plateau in China and to Indian pastoralists; b) the northern and southern shores of the Mediterranean, with a focus on Morocco in the Maghreb-Mashreq region and a wider perspective on pastoralism in Mediterranean Europe; c) the eastern and western flanks of Sub-Saharan Africa drylands, with a specific focus on the Fulani and Borana pastoral groups inhabiting these regions. This paper assesses the practices and strategies pastoral communities adopt in responding to the stresses and shocks generated by the uncertainties that surround them in these diverse settings, with a view to understand and appreciate the underpinning inspiring principles. The responses displayed and applied by pastoral communities show in fact relevant and intriguing degrees of similarity across the regions. This helps identify a common framework and a set of overarching principles and patterns for pastoralists in dealing with risk and uncertainty. The paper concludes by indicating potential ways we could learn from pastoralists, as part of a wider conversation about embracing uncertainties to meet the challenges of our turbulent world. This endeavour is complemented by another paper that explores the diverse and constantly changing uncertainty frameworks characterising different pastoral regions of the globe.

This paper provides an understanding of the constantly changing uncertainty frameworks characterising the livelihoods of pastoralists inhabiting these different geographical areas of the globe. Very diverse and contrasting pastoral settings present relevant similarities and convergences when facing evolving uncertainty scenarios. The ecological uncertainties that inform pastoral strategies get reconfigured as connections and networks extend, and the market and governance dimensions hold growing roles in determining these livelihoods systems. The paper concludes by indicating potential ways we could learn from pastoralists, as part of a wider conversation about embracing uncertainties to meet the challenges of our turbulent world. This endeavour is complemented by another paper that explores the principles, strategies, and practices pastoral communities adopt with a view to cope and adapt to surrounding and embedding insecurities.

characterise portions of the pastoral belt, spanning from Afghanistan
to Somalia to Mauritania. Cases from ongoing trends in NorthEastern
Somalia and Northern Mali provide interesting insights into
the current structural crisis affecting a large part of the pastoral world.
