Community of Practice (CoP) on climate informed advisory services for livestock farmers: The process of co-development and dissemination in Senegal by Houessionon, Prosper, Worou, Nadine, Chan, Derek, Yessoufou, Adjani Nourou-Dine, Sarr, Mamadou Adama, Konte, Oumar, Sow, Fafa, Wane, Abdrahmane, Whitbread, Anthony M.

“…With the increased variability of the growing season, natural pasture and water availability, undernourished cattle must travel longer and longer distances.1 In order to reduce uncertainty and to protect their livelihoods and assets, herders utilise various adaptation strategies, including: (1) destocking by selling livestock at often low prices prior to and during to drought; (2) transhumance, which entails a higher risk of animal loss; (3) purchase of feeds which can be costly; (4) utilisation of residues from croplands which may lead to conflict with farmers. …”

Nutrient transfers from livestock in West African agricultural systems by Leeuw, P.N. de, Reynolds, L., Rey, B.

“…The Nigerian situation elucidates the relationships between livestock and land along the rainfall gradient and brings out the multiple interactions between settled smallholder farmers and more mobile agropastoral and transhumant herders. Farming systems in the cottonbelt demonstrate the importance of animal traction and cash cropping as determinants of nutrient-transfer patterns. …”

Integrating diverse methods to understand climate-land interactions in East Africa by Olson, J.M., Alagarswamy, G., Andresen, J.A., Campbell, D.J., Davis, A.Y., Jianjun, Ge, Huebner, M., Lofgren, B.M., Lusch, D.P., Moore, N.J., Pijanowski, B.C., Jiaguo, Qi, Thornton, Philip K., Torbick, N.M., Wang, S.

Open property and complex mosaics: Variants in tenure regimes across pastoralist social-ecological systems by Robinson, Lance W.

“…This view holds that the quintessential features of dryland pastoralist systems—limited and highly variable rainfall, low resource density, mobility, and institutions and norms that emphasize flexibility and access—can result in pastoralist herders dynamically distributing and redistributing themselves across a territory without the assumed benefit of clear boundaries or of collective decision-making and rules. …”
