:
While still grounded in the concrete practices of
rangelands users, this level of learning includes
documents elaborated by research institutions and civil
society organisations, meant to influence the decisions of
practitioners, policy-makers and policy-implementers
Alliance farming for instance in
Cameroon enables Semi-nomadic
pastoralist communities pastoralists to use
innovative livelihood strategies in order to
adapt to climate change and reduce conflict
