Pastoralism and Climate Change in East Africa

Researchers of food and the environment look at the impact of climate change on pastoralism in East Africa, and the role of pastoralism in climate change. They cover vulnerability and responses to climate change shocks and stresses in pastoral communities, pastoral knowledge systems and resilience to climate change, and the contribution of pastoralism to the national economies of East Africa. Specific topics include pastoralism for a sustainable future in East Africa, understanding the pastoral production system of East Africa, the role of culture and gender in shaping rangeland management and adaptation, nomadic pastoralism and natural resource use conflicts in East Africa, and a study of social stratification in three pastoral communities in the Simanjiro District of northern Tanzania.
