Oxford Real Farming Conference

[Ilse Köhler-Rollefson]

Dear All,

just wanted to remind and draw your attention to the Oxford Real Farming Conference,  'the largest gathering of the agroecological movement on the planet, dedicated to transforming food and farming systems for good and happens from 4-6 January'.

On-line participation is free for people from Asia and Africa, but you have to register for that.

If you look at the programme, lots of the sessions are dealing with livestock grazing, and on 5th January at 17.00 GMT, Saverio Krätli will moderate a panel  with Hanwant Singh, Zuriñe Iglesias Gonzalez and myself on 'Humanity's Herding Heritage: Perspectives on Pastoralism from India to Spain'

The event is described as follows: Pastoralists are people all over the world who keep herds of livestock – ranging from alpacas to yaks – in mobile systems, producing food on the move, providing organic manure and recycling crop residues. They are amazingly efficient protein producers, conserve biodiversity and regard their animals as family members that they keep in ways that can be considered cruelty-free: without separating mothers from offspring, allowing them dietary choices, and freedom to move. Join an international panel of pastoralists and experts working across Africa, Asia, and Europe to discuss how pastoralist practices and philosophies are situated at the interface of ecological livestock keeping and nature conservation.

We will definitely mention the IYRP!

Wishing a Happy New Year to All, and believing that the time for pastoralism has come!

Ilse
