Abstract:
It is well known that earthworms of various species, with widely differing feeding and burrowing habits, can have a considerable effect on the structure and composition of the upper levels of the soil. It is, however, often difficult to relate these effects to soil fertility in particular situations and to manipulate worm populations to produce beneficial results.

Abstract:
Agriculture encroachment over alpine pastoral land is posing serious threats to the sustainable use of natural resources and agro-pastoral systems in the upland environment. This study aimed to understand the scenario of agriculture encroachment within a sustainable land management context in Northern Pakistan’s uplands (Buhrawai). Both quantitative and qualitative methodological approaches were used for the primary data collection on the pattern of cropland expansion, cropland productivity, agrochemical inputs, and perceived socio-ecological system. The results showed that off-season agriculture has emerged as a cash-earning livelihood activity, largely adopted by decade-old and influential tenant communities in the study areas. During the last few decades, this off-season agriculture regularly expanded from lower- to higher-elevation (2980–3800 m) areas, and extensively encroached on accessible pastoral areas in the bottomlands. Cultivation of the two major vegetable crops, i.e., peas and potatoes, occurred on a total of 417.4 ha of pastoral land, where pea cultivation predominantly occurred on 367.2 ha and potato cultivation on 50.2 ha of pastoral land. We found that repeated cultivation of the same crops, without crop rotation and land management practices, significantly reduced land productivity with time; the crop productivity was recorded to be the highest in the virgin cultivated land (pea: 1.8 tons/ha and potato: 14.8 tons/ha) and the lowest in the old-cultivated land (pea: 0.6 tons/ha and potato: 8.2 tons/ha). As a result of this trend, farmers are abandoning unproductive agricultural land and subsequently starting cultivation in other marginal areas, even cultivating crops on steeper slopes beyond the permissible level (16°). These findings revealed that farmers have extensively used key pastoral areas for cultivation, and they have deprived landless pastoralists of their traditional grazing land in the uplands. Furthermore, this agriculture encroachment imposed serious pressure on the pastoralists’ livelihoods and the upland ecosystem on which they rely. Therefore, policies and regulations that promote sustainable land management are much needed to ensure socio-economic equity and ecological integrity in the uplands of Northern Pakistan.

Abstract:
Le développement du sous-secteur de l‟élevage qui est d‟une importance capitale dans la lutte contre la pauvreté a suscité la réalisation des ouvrages pastoraux et agropastoraux dans le Borgou, au Nord-Est du Benin en vue d‟améliorer les conditions de vie des populations de cette zone. L‟objectif du présent article est d‟évaluer les effets socio-économiques et environnementaux de ces ouvrages sur les communautés les abritant. A cet effet, les données relatives aux volumes des facteurs de production des activités agricoles menées autour de ces ouvrages, aux volumes des outputs et à leurs prix de vente ; aux caractéristiques socio-démographiques des utilisateurs de ces ouvrages ; aux conflits entre éleveurs et agriculteurs et au degré de pression sur les essences forestières ont été collectées à l‟aide de questionnaires, de guides d‟entretien et d‟observations directes. Les statistiques descriptives, le test de Student, le test khi 2, la régression linéaire multiple et celle logistique binaire ont été utilisés pour analyser ces données. Les résultats montrent que les ouvrages pastoraux et agropastoraux impactent positivement les communautés. Les barrages et retenues d‟eau aménagés, de par leur existence ont engendré le développement du maraîchage et de l‟agriculture de contre saison. Les producteurs installés aux abords de ces infrastructures hydrauliques gagnent 32 080 F CFA/ha de plus que leurs homologues installés ailleurs. Les éleveurs accédant à ces infrastructures gagnent 1 003 496 F CFA/an de plus que ceux n‟y ayant pas accès. Les fréquences d‟apparition de conflits entre éleveurs et agriculteurs ainsi que la pression sur les essences végétales à usage animal diminuent avec le traçage des couloirs de passage et la délimitation des aires de pâturage. Cependant, la durabilité des infrastructures hydrauliques et marchandes n‟est pas garantie du fait de défaut de gestion. Les infrastructures de conduite pastorale ne sont non plus respectées tant par les agriculteurs que par les éleveurs. La mise en place d‟un cadre réglementant l‟usage de ces infrastructures serait d‟une grande importance sociocommunautaire pour les localités les abritant.Mots clés : Infrastructures pastorales et agropastorales, conflits, revenu, Borgou. English Title: Socioeconomic and environmental incidences of pastoral and agro-pastoral infrastructures implemented in Borgou, in North-East of BeninThe development of the livestock sector, which plays an important role in the fighting against rural poverty, has led to the implementation of pastoral and agro-pastoral infrastructures in Borgou, in order to improve living conditions of the populations. Thus, this article aims to evaluate the socio-economic and environmental effects of these infrastructures on the communities where they were implemented. For this purpose, the data relating to the quantity of the factors of production of the agricultural activities carried out around hydraulic infrastructures, to the volumes of the outputs and their sales prices; to the socio-demographic characteristics of the users of these infrastructures; to the conflicts between pastoralists and farmers and the degree of pressure on forest species, were collected using questionnaires, interview guides and direct observations. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, student's t-test, chi-square test, multiple linear and binary logistic regressions. The results show that pastoral and agro-pastoral infrastructures have a positive impact on communities. The dams and reservoirs by their existence have led to the development of market gardening and off-season farming. Producers located near these hydraulic infrastructures earn 32,080 F CFA/ha more than their homologues installed elsewhere. Breeders accessing to these infrastructures earn 1 003 496 F CFA/year more than those without access. The frequency of conflict between farmers and breeders and the pressure on plant species for animal use decrease with the tracing of corridors and the delimitation of grazing areas. However, the sustainability of hydraulic and market infrastructure is not guaranteed due to management failure. The corridors and grazing areas‟s infrastructure are not respected either by the farmers as by the breeders. The establishment of a framework regulating the use of these infrastructures would be very important to socio-economic development of the localities where they were implemented.Keywords: Infrastructures pastoral and agropastoral, conflict, revenue, Borgou.

Abstract:
The principal environmental impacts of nitrogen in pastoral agriculture are identified as: ammonia volatilisation, nitrous oxide emission, reduction of methane oxidation, and contamination of waters with organic nitrogen or inorganic nitrogen (nitrate, nitrite and ammonium). Each of these impacts is analysed in terms of its sensitivity to the form in which N enters the farming system, symbiotically or as fertiliser. Indirect effects that flow through from any changes in productivity are also examined. With the exception of organic N pollution of waters, all the impacts are shown to be directly affected by fertiliser N. Keywords: ammonia, leaching, methane, nitrate, nitrous oxide

Abstract:
For sustainable development strategy implemented by China, agriculture and countryside are the foundation and the prior fields, facing the greatest challenge and difficulty. New rural development of agricultural and pastoral areas is an important constituent in new rural construction of China as well as a relatively weak link. Wushen Banner in Erdos City of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region is a typical agricultural and pastoral area. Towns and sumus in the whole Banner have respective unique characteristics in aspects of regional difference, functional dominance and development conditionality (three characteristics for short), influencing construction and development of new countryside. According to analysis on three characteristics, main modes of new rural development of it are industrial enterprise leading mode, urban construction leading mode, modern agriculture leading mode, ecological animal husbandry leading mode, leisure tourism leading mode and professional market leading mode.

Abstract:
The prosperity of New Zealand (NZ) rests to a large extent on agriculture. Although our total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are unusually small for a developed nation, agricultural emissions make up almost half of the total emissions from NZ. Emissions from NZ agriculture have been rising at close to 1% a year since 1990 and by 2010, the midpoint of the first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol, they are projected to be 7.2 Mt per year higher than the 1990 baseline. This excess has a potential cost of over NZ$0.5 billion. Despite the continued rise in absolute emissions, emissions intensity, the amount of GHG produced per unit of food produced, has been dropping and the emissions intensity of NZ agriculture goods compares favourably with that of other developed nations. The NZ agricultural sector has actively engaged in the search for cost-effective mitigation solutions and, in partnership with the government, has funded research through the Pastoral Greenhouse Gas Research Consortium (PGGRC). The PGGRC has been in existence since 2002 and has invested NZ$16 million in research into reducing methane and nitrous oxide emissions from pastoral agriculture. The structure of this research funding body, its objectives, achievements and future challenges are briefly outlined.

Abstract:
Beautiful pastoral country construction is an important step for Jiangsu Province to fulfil the mission of “being a leader, a model and a front-runner” in rural revitalization, and it has become an important part of realizing the beautiful province of Jiangsu. By means of data comparison, literature analysis and logical analysis, it is possible to outline the current characteristics of unbalanced regional development, uneven distribution of characteristic resources and mismatch of the “agriculture, rural areas and farmers” policies with the new development requirements in the province, and by referring to the model of rural revitalization in the “six along” areas, systematic thinking and planning of “agriculture, rural areas and farmers” policies and other strategies, with focus on the systematic construction of agriculture, rural areas and farmers, is helpful to improve the habitat environment in Jiangsu in all respects. The results show that the strategy of building beautiful pastoral country in northern, central and southern Jiangsu should be adapted to local conditions; Jiangsu should take the lead in the construction of beautiful pastoral country in the “six along” areas; the key to the construction of beautiful pastoral country lies in the industrial development in rural areas. The two should be closely coordinated and driven by each other to jointly achieve the modernization of agriculture and rural areas.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper outlines the expectations of a wide range of stakeholders for environmental assurance in the pastoral industries and agriculture generally. Stakeholders consulted were domestic consumers, rangeland graziers, members of environmental groups, companies within meat and wool supply chains, and agricultural industry, environmental and consumer groups. Most stakeholders were in favour of the application of environmental assurance to agriculture, although supply chains and consumers had less enthusiasm for this than environmental and consumer groups. General public good benefits were more important to environmental and consumer groups, while private benefits were more important to consumers and supply chains. The ‘ideal’ form of environmental assurance appears to be a management system that provides for continuous improvement in environmental, quality and food safety outcomes, combined with elements of ISO 14024 eco-labelling such as life-cycle assessment, environmental performance criteria, third-party certification, labelling and multi-stakeholder involvement. However, market failure prevents this from being implemented and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. In the short term, members of supply chains (the people that must implement and fund environmental assurance) want this to be kept simple and low cost, to be built into their existing industry standards and to add value to their businesses. As a starting point, several agricultural industry organisations favour the use of a basic management system, combining continuous improvement, risk assessment and industry best management practice programs, which can be built on over time to meet regulator, market and community expectations.

Abstract:
Volcanic eruptions are powerful, spectacular, uncontrollable geophysical events which require management to mitigate loss of life and property. An essential part of volcanic risk management is to quantify the vulnerability of exposed elements of society to volcanic hazard. Agriculture takes advantage of the fertile soils of volcanic regions, but is vulnerable to damage and disruption from volcanic hazards, in particular ashfall. This thesis investigates the vulnerability of pastoral agriculture to volcanic ashfall by examining impacts on the resource base of pastoral farming (water supply, pasture and soil, and livestock) and explores mitigation and recovery strategies for ashfall hazards at varying levels. It provides a quantitative understanding of pastoral farming vulnerability to ashfall hazards, as part of probabilistic risk assessment. Surface farm water supplies are found to be more vulnerable to ashfall, through contamination and sedimentation, than groundwater supplies. After heavy ashfall, the physical impacts of ashfall overwhelm the more subtle chemical impacts on water supply systems, but even relatively thin ashfalls may cause potential toxic changes to water quality. Farm-scale assessment of water supplies was used to identify key areas of vulnerability to ash hazards. Modelling a large-scale evacuation of livestock following widespread, heavy ashfall found the logistical, time and cost requirements high and may make this action unrealistic. Perhaps most critically, it is doubtful that farms in surrounding regions have the capacity to accommodate the numbers of animals likely to be affected. Tunnel-house and field trials have shown pastures are relatively resilient to ashfalls of 10 mm, but this resilience rapidly reduces with increasing ashfall thickness and at .100 mm there is effectively no pasture recovery. Ashfall grain size, frequency, soluble salt volume, and different meteorological conditions also have a significant impact on pastures and soils. Pasture reestablishment will benefit from tillage of ash covered soils to mix ash and topsoil and break up the surface crust which may form on ash deposits. Targeted fertiliser treatments may also be required to buffer acidic soluble salts and remedy deficiencies of essential nutrients. Reworking of ash deposits was found to be highly disruptive to pasture re-establishment and in extreme cases may prolong and intensify the impacts following an ashfall. The majority of farmers impacted by ashfall will continue farming, albeit with varying levels of disruption. However real or perceived impacts to human health may result in farm evacuation in the short-term. Where ashfall thicknesses are too thick for a return to profitable farming, migration from impacted farms and agriculture-related industries will result in significant demographic changes to rural communities and potential social impacts. Stressed farming systems are most vulnerable to failure and psychosocial impacts.

Full text
Abstract:
Durant des siècles, la steppe algérienne a été exploitée par des tribus nomades qui vivaient de l'élevage pastoral transhumant des petits ruminants. Fractionnée et déstabilisée par des politiques et des projets inappropriés pendant et après la colonisation française, cette exploitation collective et régulée des parcours a cédé la place à un mode d'exploitation familial concurrentiel. Pour répondre à une demande croissante de viande ovine, consécutive à un fort accroissement démographique, les éleveurs ont accru leurs troupeaux, étendu la céréaliculture fourragère motorisée et multiplié les achats de céréales fourragères. Surchargés, les parcours qui fournissaient l'essentiel de l'alimentation des animaux, ont été dégradés, la transhumance réduite et les petits éleveurs appauvris. Aujourd'hui, l'interdiction de la céréaliculture sur les terres fragiles et la mise en défens des pâturages dégradés sont plus que nécessaires. Elles ne seront cependant ni assez respectées pour protéger ou restaurer la fertilité de la steppe, ni suffisantes pour améliorer les conditions d'existence des agropasteurs, et elles le resteront tant que les ressources inexploitées en terres cultivables et en pâturages de la région n'auront pas été durablement mobilisées pour accroitre et réguler les disponibilités fourragères. Ainsi rendu possible, le développement durable de l'élevage agropastoral dans la steppe serait grandement facilité par l'élaboration et la réalisation participatives d'un ensemble coordonné de programmes et de projets, intégré aux stratégies de développement durable de la région et du pays.

Abstract:
The conversion of native forest to agricultural land has been an on-going issue threatening the health of New Zealand’s freshwater systems. However, despite the fact that this has been occurring since early European settlement, our understanding of the mechanistic relationships between riparian vegetation and stream condition are poorly developed. This research investigated: (i) how forests affect downstream benthic macroinvertebrate communities in pasture and the environmental factors driving community change; (ii) how upstream forest size impacted the rate of change in downstream environmental drivers and associated macroinvertebrate community structure; and (iii) whether the addition of coarse particulate organic matter (a single potential driver of forest community structure) can reset community structure to that of a forested state. Physico-chemical conditions, basal energy resources, and macroinvertebrates were surveyed in several New Zealand headwater streams. At Mount Egmont National Park, 10-12 sites were surveyed across a longitudinal forest-pasture gradient in each of five streams flowing from continuous forest to dairy farmland. My results showed that forests can have marked effects downstream. From the forest edge, water temperatures increased consistently, with a rise of approximately 0.2ºC per 100 m of downstream distance. By contrast, coarse particulate organic matter (CPOM) decreased rapidly downstream of the forest, however, low levels of “forest-derived” CPOM were still present 300m downstream from the forest edge. These environmental changes drove significant shifts in macroinvertebrate community structure. Moreover, pasture communities were markedly different from those in forest, despite being only 100 m from the forest edge. In particular, total macroinvertebrate and EPT richness and densities decreased, and communities shifted from evenly distributed allochthonous-based communities to autochthonous-based communities, highly dominated by molluscs (e.g., Potamopyrgus spp.) Subsequent surveys of 6-8 sites across a longitudinal forest-pasture gradient in each of eleven streams flowing from forest fragments of different sizes into grazed pastures throughout the Canterbury region, indicated that stream temperature increased more rapidly downstream of small- and medium-sized fragments, than larger fragments. A Berger-Parker dominance index also indicated that macroinvertebrates responded principally to water temperature, with communities being more highly dominated by temperature-tolerant molluscs in streams flowing from small-sized forest fragments. Several headwater streams in Canterbury were also highly retentive, with marked CPOM rarely exported beyond 50 m downstream of the forest. Experimental additions of leaf litter to the pasture reaches of the same streams dramatically increased amounts of stored benthic CPOM. Although non-significant, trends indicated that EPT and shredder densities increased at litter addition sites, providing promise that CPOM can function as a mechanism directly enhancing healthy stream communities. My findings support the contention that when the replanting of entire stream reaches is infeasible, the use of riparian management strategies which focus on the planting of intermittent patches along stream banks can potentially improve stream habitat and community health downstream.

Abstract:
Livestock-based agriculture plays an important role in the development of sub-saharan Africa, especially those countries whose livestock industry contributes significantly to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In Kenya, agriculture alone accounts for 21% of the GDP and provides employment directly or indirectly to over 75% of the total labour force. The livestock industry, mainly arid rangelands, contributes 50% of the agricultural productivity. However, these Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs) are exposed to a myriad of risks affecting the environment which is the pastoral core asset. These risks arise from climatic change and variability, growth in human population and expanding settlements, changes in the land use systems, poor infrastructure, diseases, wildlife predation, and inter-ethnic conflicts. The consequences of these pastoral risks include: (1) declining per capita asset value, (2) increased health problems, (3) increased poverty, and (4) declining GDP generated from pastoralism. While a lot of resources have been invested in responding to the pastoral crisis associated with droughts, there is still inadequate understanding of the policy measures to put in place as mitigation strategies. The aims of this research are (1) identify the main pastoral risks and community response strategies, (2) assess the impact the identified risks on the wellbeing of pastoralists based on financial, human, physical, natural and social capital measurements (5 C‘s), and (3) develop a System Dynamics (SD) model to assess the holistic impact of community and government response strategies on pastoral wellbeing. Samburu district, in northern Kenya, was chosen as a study area because it is classified as 100% ASAL and experiences frequent droughts and changing land use systems. The research process involved literature synthesis, analysis of both cross-sectional and a 5-year panel data, and the development of a System Dynamics model. Cross-section data was primarily collected for the purposes of identifying the extent to which risks affect households, while the 5-year panel data was sourced from the Arid Lands Resource Management Project (ALRMP). Descriptive and empirical analysis showed that droughts, land use system and human population were considered as the main cause of shrinking rangeland productivity and as a result declining per capita livestock. This was further confirmed from the panel data analysis indicating climate variability as the main driver of pastoral wellbeing. Droughts affect rangeland pasture productivity, market prices, livestock assets, and households‘ nutritional status and poverty levels. These results imply a multifaceted nature of pastoral system with compound affects. The SD simulation result, which was run over the period January 2006 to December 2030, provided insights on policy evaluation and the state of pastoral wellbeing. Baseline scenario indicated reducing livestock ownership, causing high malnutrition and poverty rates. Strategies which incorporated rangeland rehabilitation, planned settlements, livestock disease control, insurance against droughts, reducing inter-ethnic conflicts, and timely destocking offered better policy options. These strategies resulted in reduced malnutrition, increased pasture productivity, reduced livestock losses and ultimately reducing poverty rates among the pastoral communities.

Abstract:
Thesis (D. Tech.) - Central University of Technology, Free State, 2009
All over the African continent south of the Sahara Desert, African lion numbers are plummeting to levels where, over large areas of their remaining distribution range, extinction has become a real threat. The main reason for the decreasing numbers is the increasing conflict between livestock farmers and lions. Lions are forced to kill livestock where their natural prey has been squeezed out by livestock and associated farming practices, and the farmers find it necessary to protect their livelihoods, often through the indiscriminate killing of lions. In the Kgalagadi-South region of Botswana, lion/livestock interactions present a challenge to livestock owners and wildlife managers alike. The relatively low ecological carrying capacity and occupied lion habitats in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park (KTP) force some expelled young adult and sub-adult lions southwards into the adjoining Wildlife Management Area (WMA) KD/15, which separates the KTP and the communal grazing area. This WMA most likely also contains resident prides. Some of these predators sporadically enter the livestock grazing area. Similarly, large stock often enters the WMA. It is mostly these boundary transgressions that result in livestock killing, and the reaction of livestock owners often leads to the killing of lions. To gather information concerning the nature and extent of the situation, two questionnaires were prepared with the assistance of the Department of Biostatistics of the University of the Free State, South Africa. One questionnaire targeted livestock owners while the other was aimed at wildlife officials of the Department of Wildlife and National Parks in Botswana and SANParks in South Africa. Both covered the five-year period 2002-2006. A trial run was carried out to adjust to problem-specific circumstances before fieldwork commenced. Fieldwork was done during four consecutive seasons – in January, February, April and December 2007. Thirty livestock respondents and 13 wildlife officials were interviewed during the first two excursions into the study area. The third visit was to plot the cut-line between the WMA and the grazing area (by means of a Global Positioning System or GPS) and to make first-hand observations regarding movement over the cut-line. During all four visits the environmental (including grazing) conditions and density and distribution of wildlife and stock were observed in both the WMA and the grazing areas. The information gathered points towards a seemingly unsolvable situation. The exceptionally high daytime temperatures and food scarcity, brought about by erratic rainfall, overgrazing near boreholes, generally low carrying capacity and low phosphorus (P) levels, force large stock, i.e. cattle, horses, donkeys and mules, to graze far away from the safety of the cattle-posts during the cool hours of the night, thus making kraaling impractical. Such circumstances enhance exposure to lion predation especially in or near the WMA and the KTP fence. Some lions also penetrate deep into the grazing areas, especially in the arid western part of the study area. This study revealed certain weaknesses in current wildlife and livestock management practices in the study area, the sum of which put both farmers and the lion population under extreme pressure. Most of these shortcomings can be rectified without drastic invasive methods. Such adjustments can result in improved livestock and wildlife utilisation and protection of the lions. For example: the placement of mixed phosphorus and salt licks near cattle-posts to fulfil the need for vital micro and macro elements; addressing unnecessary livestock losses, which contribute to a lower income and less tolerance towards predation (e.g. botulism, which may stem from stock chewing on bones in their desire for more phosphorus, and losses to black-backed jackal, Canis mesomelas, in poorly maintained kraals); more drinking troughs at boreholes to prevent unnecessary shoving and minimise energy waste; and the introduction of more bulls to herds to increase the calving percentage. The study further concluded that there is little reason why stockowners should consider protecting lions. It suggests that significant value can be added to the wildlife (and the protection of lions) in the specific area by making farmers and other local residents share in the relatively untapped ecotourism potential of the area.

Abstract:
L'objectif de cette thèse est de montrer la pertinence de l'analyse de la dynamique du paysage agro-forestier et lacustre du bassin hydrologique de Patzcuaro (dans l'état mexicain de Michoacán) conçue comme un outil théorique et méthodologique pour approcher l'état du développement agro-pastoral et son impact sur le couvert forestier et le milieu. Cette analyse a été faite selon une approche systémique et structurelle, synchronique et diachronique afin d'appréhender les changements dans l'espace et dans le temps du paysage dudit bassin hydrologique. A ces fins, on a utilisé les données statistiques des recensements agro-forestiers, les données spatiales livrées par la cartographie thématique régionale et les données numériques enregistrées par les capteurs embarqués sur les satellites d'observation de la terre. Dans cette thèse, des données analogiques et numériques ont été systématiquement exploitées à l'aide des traitements statistiques multivariés, de logiciels de traitement d'images et d'algorithmes adaptes à la qualité des données et aux objectifs de cette recherche. Grâce à cette démarche méthodologique il a été possible d'observer l'ensemble des variations de l'utilisation de l'espace et d'établir une typologie spatio-temporelle du paysage.

Abstract:
Este trabalho trata da formação do assentamento Sepé Tiaraju entre os municípios de Serrana e Serra Azul e dos desdobramentos da luta pela terra na região de Ribeirão Preto. Nesse sentido, o objetivo foi demonstrar a recriação da agricultura camponesa numa área na qual a expansão da agricultura capitalista tornou-se dominante. Entretanto, com a atuação das agências de mediação da luta pela terra, como a FERAESP, MST e MLST, os assentamentos de reforma agrária constituem uma nova forma de uso do território. Esta pesquisa também privilegiou como se deu a construção de uma identidade positiva dos trabalhadores rurais Sem Terra que ao tornarem-se camponeses assentados conquistaram não apenas a terra de trabalho, mas uma identidade marcada pela dignidade e pela consciência dos direitos. Desse modo, as agências de mediação, ao mobilizarem, organizarem e formarem os trabalhadores rurais Sem Terra, favoreceram a superação dos estigmas sociais pelos quais esses trabalhadores eram marcados. Por fim, discutimos os dilemas que a agricultura camponesa enfrenta quando adentra o circuito mercantil e financeiro, ou seja, a sujeição ao capital comercial e financeiro. Desse modo, os camponeses assentados, mesmo com a posse da terra, continuam a enfrentar as imposições do mercado. Mas, a pesquisa mostra que a despeito da sujeição da renda da terra ao capital, os camponeses assentados tem assegurado a reprodução de uma agricultura de caráter camponês na área de agricultura capitalista ou no território do agronegócio.
This research deals with arrangement of Sepé Tiaraju settlement among Serrana and Serra Azul countys and the development of the fight for the land in Ribeirão Preto s region. In this sense, the objective was to demonstrate the pastoral agricultural recreation in a area that the expansion of the capitalist agricultural became dominate. Meanwhile, with the measurement agency performance of the fight for the land as FERAESP, MST and MLST the settlements of the agrarian reform constitute a new form of the territory usage. This research also favoured how was the process of the building of a positive identity of the rural workers sem terra when became rural setted accomplished not only the land for the work, but a identity marked by the dignity and conscience rights. This way, when the measurement agency organized and formed the rural workers sem terra it favoured the social stigma difficulty, that they were market. In short, we discuss the dilemmas that the pastoral agricultural faces when entersides the mercantile and financial circuit, that is, the subjection to the commercial and financial capital. This way, the settled rural, even with the ownership of the land, they continue to face the trade imposition. Yet, the research shows, in spite of, the income subjection from the land to the capital the settled rural have been asserted the reproduction of an agricultural with rural character related to the area of capitalism agricultural or in the agrobusiness territoriy.

Abstract:
Abstract In developing countries like Tanzania, societal vulnerability to the risks of climate change and variability (CC&V) exacerbate ongoing social and economic challenges because people's livelihoods are largely dependent on resources that are sensitive to climate change such as agriculture. Although studies show that most communities in Africa have low adaptive capacity, for centuries people have developed traditional adaptation strategies to face climate inter-annual variability and extreme events based on their long-term experiences. Various studies show how CC&V have impacted the socio-economic and and environmental conditions among the pastoral and agropastoral societies. However, little emphasis has been given to studying the community's resilience status to CC&V impacts. Much of the focus has been placed on studying the community vulnerability and impacts of CC&V as well as coping and adaptation strategies to avert CC&V impacts. Little is known on how the interaction between society and nature can enhance or reduce community resilience under changing climate. The study was conducted in two villages, Ibulyu and Mahaha, in Bariadi District. The main objective of the study was to deepen our understanding of the socio-ecological resilience of agropastoral communities to CC&V impacts in a semi-arid district. The study employed both qualitative and quantitative research designs. Quantitative data were captured through a household survey whereas qualitative data was collected through focus group discussion, key informant interviews and field observation. The results show that CC&V have negatively affected the farming system in the study area. The ecological setting of the area has significantly been altered to the extent that it cannot provide the required ecosystem services and products that are important for human and livestock sustainance. Changes in the production system have negatively affected community resilience and increased their vulnerability.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter examines to what extent two late medieval nomadic groups in the southern Balkans adopted the economic practices of the areas they moved into, in order to achieve agricultural sustainability. In the fourteenth century, these two groups, Turk yörüks and transhumant Albanians, migrated to Greece in order to invigorate depopulated areas and reclaim lands in Thessaly and the Peloponnese respectively. Almost three generations after their establishment, Ottoman taxation cadastres cast light on their agricultural and pastoral activities. Even though these groups followed different trajectories in their sedentarisation—more or less dictated by their ethnocultural peculiarities—they both focused over time on farming basic, life-sustaining crops, such as cereals, which were complimentary to the manifold market-oriented farming activities of the long-settled local Greeks.

Abstract:
It is likely that the adoption of domestication and sedentary life was promoted by new system of beliefs and occurred in the context of a profound reconfiguration of symbolic and social codes. I will present how personal ornaments can inform on the social reorganization of the communities at the dawn of agriculture by tracking the multiple forms of interactions between individuals, the way people materialized their self-identify and the way they recognized each other. The technological and use wear analyzes of personal adornments, combined to the analysis of a georeferenced database of the bead types used by the last foragers and the first farmers in Europe, explores how interactions networks established between populations led to the social and cultural reconfiguration of the groups and reshaped the cultural geography of Europe 8000 years ago (Rigaud, 2014 Rigaud et al., 2015). Personal ornament analysis reveals the long-term stability in contacts networks that enhanced the circulation of social, technical and economic information essential for the diffusion of the farming lifestyle. The persistence of foragers personal attires within farming communities indicates that personal ornaments likely reflected the most entrenched and lasting facets of farmers ethnicity compared to other cultural proxies (Rigaud et al., 2018).

Abstract:
In a stationary field experiment on typical Chernozem, we studied the effectiveness of tillage systems in the North-Eastern region of the Central district in crop rotations: grain-tillage (2001-2011) and grain-fallow (2012-2017). we Studied four main tillage systems: traditional dump, surface, non-dump, and combined. The maximum yield of grain units in crop rotations was noted for the combined dump-free tillage system – 5.46 thousand/ha in the grain-pasture and 2.75 thousand/ha in the grain-steaming. Cultivation of agricultural crops in the grain-pastoral crop rotation by surface treatment leads to a significant decrease in the yield of grain units from 1 ha of arable land (by 0.39 thousand), compared to traditional dump plowing. In the grain-fallow crop rotation, the use of resource-saving systems of basic tillage (surface and soil-free) did not significantly affect its productivity.

Abstract:
Esta comunicación pretende dar visibilidad al análisis de la yuxtaposición de procesos alegóricos presentes en la obra videográfica “El lenguaje”, (2013). En dicha obra, el autor, desde la posición del “otro” —del artista como antropólogo— realiza un montaje donde encadena una documentación de los sonidos emitidos por los cabreros varias zonas de Andalucía: en concreto de las provincias de Cádiz y Málaga. El proceso tiene como punto de partida una visión singular del paisaje generada desde lo experiencial, del paisaje recorrido y transitado; entendiéndose éste como un constructo artealizado donde hay cabida no sólo de los elementos naturales que lo conforman, sino, además, de aquellas formas culturales y de identidad que lo atraviesan, las cuales se presentan ante el caminante de modo colateral. Es en estos modelos menos visibles del país hecho paisaje donde se encuentra el valor patrimonial de lo natural devenido cultural. Sin embargo, tras esta fachada de documento, de registro de datos provenientes de los modos de un colectivo particular de los habitantes del paisaje, la obra es en sí misma una alegoría, y es en este cambio de significancia donde se articula su inclusión en el ámbito del arte contemporáneo. A través de la figura del cabrero y de los sonidos que éste emite para comunicarse con el rebaño, el autor realiza una reflexión sobre el propio sistema del arte, el proceso comunicativo implicado en el enunciado artístico y la noción de colectividad, del clan. Así, la obra recupera la histórica división del ser humano entre pastores y agricultores, división que se estipula como dos modelos antagónicos de habitar el mundo: uno ligado al lugar, al espacio y al trabajo fijado en la propiedad; y la otra regulada por procesos dinámicos, en un movimiento continuo por el paisaje. El paralelismo recae en la propia idea del artista como nómada, una figura en circulación permanente a través del flujo conceptual y material de los distintos proyectos. Ese sujeto creativo se percibe, además, alejado de los modelos exigidos por el productivismo, tan en boga por las materias predominantes de las omnipresentes STEM (siglas en inglés de ciencia, tecnología, ingeniería y matemáticas). Tal y como sugiere el autor: “Un artista, como un pastor, acarrea su trabajo, pero también tiene, como un pastor, momentos de plácida soledad sentado en una piedra observando lo que le rodea”.

Abstract:
Protein has a singularly prominent place in discussions about food. It symbolises fitness, strength and masculinity, motherhood and care. It is the preferred macronutrient of affluence and education, the mark of a conscientious diet in wealthy countries and of wealth and success elsewhere. Through its association with livestock it stands for pastoral beauty and tradition. It is the high-tech food of science fiction, and in discussions of changing agricultural systems it is the pivotal nutrient around which good and bad futures revolve. There is no denying that we need protein and that engaging with how we produce and consume it is a crucial part of our response to the environmental crises. But discussions of these issues are affected by their cultural context—shaped by the power of protein. Given this, we argue that it is vital to map that cultural power and understand its origins. This paper explores the history of nutritional science and international development in the Global North with a focus on describing how protein gained its cultural meanings. Starting in the first half of the 19th century and running until the mid-1970s, it covers two previous periods when protein rose to singular prominence in food discourse: in the nutritional science of the late-19th century, and in international development in the post-war era. Many parallels emerge, both between these two eras and in comparison with the present day. We hope that this will help to illuminate where and why the symbolism and story of protein outpace the science—and so feed more nuanced dialogue about the future of food.
