Pastoralism and drylands in West Africa - PPZS

In spite of the widespread crisis affecting the Sahel, pastoral livestock production is still a major way of life and a key production system in the arid zones of Africa. Within this context, its sustainability depends on its ability to preserve natural environments and to co-exist with other activities. The platform is working towards sustainable pastoral livestock production that is better integrated into national economies and articulated with other production systems in dry zones.
