[IYRPsupportgroup] [CELEP] Pastoralists as family farmers: some more details

[Ann Waters-Bayer]

Dear Loupa,

Indeed, that is why the paper ends with asking for support for a global assessment of pastoralism and rangelands to fill in such gaps - but methodology and definitions will also be important, because “pastoralist” may be defined differently in different countries. That is also one reason why the estimates of pastoralist population have such a wide range.

Cheers,
Ann

>> 
>> 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.
