This is the ninth in a series of blog posts that bring together PASTRES work from 2018-2023 around a number of themes. In this post, we discuss the theme of agrarian change. To read through our archive on this theme, click on the link at the end of this post.
An important theme running through PASTRES work is an understanding of patterns of livelihood change over time. Locating this within a framework of ‘critical agrarian studies’, we can see that pastoralists must confront many of the same challenges that settled peasant societies must also face, but they have important skills for living with and from uncertainty that others can learn from.
This article is from PASTRES, a research programme that aims to learn from pastoralists about responding to uncertainty and resilience, with lessons for global challenges. PASTRES is co-hosted by IDS.
