[IYRPsupportgroup] "Pastoralists as family farmers": 4-page brief in English & French

[Ann Waters-Bayer]

Dear all, 

To mark the beginning of the United Nations Decade of Family Farming 2019–28, the Coalition of European Lobbies for Eastern African Pastoralism (CELEP) combined forces with the International Land Coalition (ILC) Rangelands Initiative and the International Support Group (ISG) for the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists (IYRP) in bring out a 4-page brief “Pastoralists as family farmers” in English and French (attached). 

In the definition of family farmers for the International Year of Family Farmers (IYFF) in 2014 and now for the Decade of Family Farming, pastoralists are mentioned as a group requiring specific attention. Despite this recognition, most statements, papers and information about family farmers refer primarily to small-scale crop farmers. CELEP, ILC and the ISG – as organisations supporting, working with or representing pastoralists – seek to draw attention to the importance of including pastoralists within discussions and interventions in family farming, including in the current Decade.

Please share this brief with people involved in promoting and supporting family farming.

Cheers,
Ann
