Pastoralism is the future – animated video

Man-made climate change is creating conditions on our planet that are increasingly characterised by variability and unpredictability. Pastoralists use variability to their advantage. Their production systems guide us to a sustainable future. Find out how they do it in this 2:23-min animated video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeqITzac9Ac

This video film was created by Cartoonbase and realised by CELEP (Coalition of European Lobbies for Eastern African Pastoralism), VSFB (Vétérinaires Sans Frontières Belgium), MISEREOR Association of German Dioceses and the Belgian Government.

The video was made in support of the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists (IYRP). It has already been translated into 14 languages, either as subtitles or with voiceover – see https://www.iyrp.info/pastoralism-future

A short (3-page) background paper “Pastoralists turn variability into food” gives more details about the message in the film. A much longer evidence-based report on this topic can be found in the FAO publication “Pastoralism: making variability work“.
