Pioneer farmers: we scientists/extensionists/policy makers have to overcome our biases and listen to them as modern innovators. They are making the future while we talk about it. Thanks Claudia Arndt for bringing this to attention!

This is the most thorough documentation of the anthropogenic threats to traditional pastoralism I've seen. I still see too much environmental discourse saying pastoralism is somehow a problem, but this shows why and how pastoralist livelihoods AND wildlife are under pressure

Simplistic and one-sided narratives about livestock and animal products are misleading and dangerous 🐂 Ahead of #WorldFoodDay on Sunday, we ask how can the livestock sector contribute to an environmentally just future? Answer: Pastoralism! Pastoralism & Uncertainty ids.ac.uk/news/new-prime…

“Very loose terms like ‘nature-based solutions’ are being bandied about in international summits without clear definitions, & they’re open to being mobilized in the interests of all kinds of agendas” IDS Director @mleach_ids on new research w/ IPES-Food theenergymix.com/2022/10/30/put…
