Background Resources:
- The Future of Pastoralism in Ethiopia, Pastoralist Communication Initiative
The publication... looks toward the future, envisioning some of the choices pastoralists may make over the next 20 years. The analysis uses the research evidence to consider how the key influences on pastoralism may combine to shape the future. If market potential is high and environmental productivity is good, what is the most likely direction of development? Where are the benefits likely to accrue and what risks do people face? Conversely, if markets are inaccessible and population outstrips production from the natural environment, what would the likely outcomes then be? This combination of science and imagination produces a new, more detailed and more realistic understanding of the way pastoralism works and its future in Ethiopia.
- Pastoralist Innovation Systems, By FAC's Ian Scoones and Andrew Adwere
While there has been much discussion of the importance of innovation in African agriculture, remarkably little has focused on mobile pastoral systems. Everyone agrees that science, technology and innovation must be at the centre of economic growth, livelihood improvement and development more broadly. But it must always be asked: what innovation - and for whom? Decisions about direction, diversity and distribution are key in any discussion of innovation options and wider development pathways.
