Economy, Work & Innovation

With the 'Economy, Work, Innovation' macrotheme, we explore the intersection of pastoralism with economic sustainability, innovation, and livelihood improvement. Here, we showcase a selection of best practices aimed at fostering resilient local economies, promoting innovation, and enhancing working conditions within pastoral communities. From the valorization of local products and services to economic diversification initiatives, this section offers a wealth of insights into harnessing the economic potential of pastoralism. Additionally, we delve into the integration of modern technology innovations to optimize productivity and efficiency in traditional pastoral practices. Moreover, we highlight efforts to improve work conditions and ensure equitable access to land, empowering pastoralists to thrive in their occupations sustainably.
