[Iyrp-gcg] UNFSS Pastoralism as a Sustainable Food System

[Maryam Niamir-Fuller]

Dear Fiona
Thanks so much for taking on this initiative. I like to think that our
efforts at the UNFSS in Sept 2021 were instrumental in shining a light on
pastoralism that helped us get the IYRP designated. So following up again
will be important as we aim for more impact in 2026.

I therefore endorse the involvement of the IYRP Global Alliance as a
partner in these events.
