Have you linked with the Pastres project? Pastoralism, Uncertainty and Resilience – PASTRES – Research project learning with pastoralists about how to respond to uncertainty

Some of the recent PhDs may well be interested to engage with this initiative.

Would be good to link up African and South Asian debates and push back against dominant policy narratives.

Across the world, there are communities that manage livestock in a way of life that involves seasonal migrations, sometimes across large stretches of landscape, along with their herds. The livestock may be cattle, buffaloes, goats, sheep, camels or even ducks and pigs. The migrations could be undertaken to leave an area during its dry season in order to access another which has fodder and water at that time. They could be vertical migrations from villages in the foothills to lush alpine meadows at higher altitudes in summer. Wilderness areas such as grasslands or forests are an important source of fodder for these mobile livestock, but the migrations may also be governed by seasonal opportunities for mutually beneficial relationships with settled agricultural communities. In the fallow season, for example, crop stubble on agricultural lands provides nourishment for livestock while dung from the animals provides rich manure for the farmers.

India is home to 145 million goats and 74 million sheep, yet it meets most of its cheese and 95% of its wool demands through importation. CfP works on three initiatives namely, Milk Matters, Pastoral Dhanda and Desi Oon, to make indigenous products more freely available in the market and thus improve pastoral livelihoods.

Explore

Herder migrations can take place over hundreds of kilometres and involve grazing animals in government and private lands that are now inaccessible to them. CfP works with several partners to explore the potential for pastoralist use of provisions within the Forest Rights Act to re-claim access to traditional grazing grounds.

The peripheral position that pastoralism and grasslands occupy in Indian academia translates to limited resources for policy support on pastoralism. To deepen the understanding and facilitate the development of pastoral studies in India, CfP undertakes commissioned research and builds partnerships with a wide range of researchers, universities, and NGOs.

Pastoral ways of life are immersed in rich culture and knowledgeable practice systems which have lost their prominence in public forums and popular imagination/consciousness. CfP's Outreach program tackles this gap between the Pastoral communities and the public eye through three initiatives- Living Lightly, Pastoral Times, and Pastoral Dialogues.

Thank you for signing up!
