Array ( [0] => GMT +4 )Nomadic pastoralists make an important contribution to food and protein production and food security worldwide. They make sustainable use of vast (semi-)desert and mountain areas under specific conditions. While doing this, they do not only exploit the natural environment, but also create landscapes, maintain biodiversity and preserve wildlife populations. Yet, in many areas they are facing tremendous challenges because of land occupation, climate change, mining, political turmoil and hostile governments endangering their way of life. In these challenges the three core domains of Wageningen University & Research (food, feed and bio-based economy, natural resources and living environment, well-being and society), come together and pose important questions and issues for interdisciplinary and societal relevant research.
