The pastoral farming system: Balancing between tradition and transition by Leeuw, Jan de, Osano, Philip M., Said, Mohammed, Ayantunde, Augustine A., Dube, Sikhalazo, Neely, Constance, Vrieling, Anton, Thornton, Philip K., Ericksen, Polly J.

“…Key messages The African pastoral farming system consists of livestock and drylands crop-based production that supports an agricultural population of 38 million people of whom 13.4 million in sub-Saharan Africa are extremely poor. Human population growth has resulted in low per capita livestock and land resources, and while the farming system has options to develop agriculture, further demographic expansion will exacerbate degradation and inequality. …”
