Instead, the real market has tried to cut corners, putting pressure on pastoralists to transform their production system to accommodate ready-made problem-solution sets that, developed in temperate environments, are designed to capture economies of scale by maximizing the exploitation of uniform and stable conditions (Krtli and Schareika, 2010).

To enhance this potential, pastoral infrastructure (market, processing, promotion and sales venues) and animal health issues need to be rethought in their entirety by integrating the sector of livestock farming and pastoralism.

Pastoral production systems are found in climatic zones as different as deserts, dry plains, savannahs, steppes, tundra, and high-altitude mountain ranges, but all have in common the exploitation of ephemeral concentrations of resources (Behnke et al., 2011; Figure 1).

Formal education is seen as a crucial step in the modernization of pastoralism. Dryland pastoralists might also balance mobility against perceived risks (for example, insecurity) or advantages (e.g., the wish or necessity to access services still only provided in settlements), or against land access constraints. Tierarztliche Praxis: Ausgabe G, Grosstiere/Nutztiere Whether the importance of pastoralism is appreciated by global communities or not, the environmental services of pastoralism need to be widely recognized and the respective governments in the pastoral regions should act effectively to protect or restore such services. Animal exploitation in the Upper Tigris River valley during the Middle Bronze Age: A first comparison of Hirbemerdon Tepe and Kenan Tepe. As an economic activity based on animal production, pastoralism is defined by a specialization to take advantage of the characteristic instability of most rangeland environments, where key resources such as nutrients and water for livestock can be relied on in the form of unpredictable and short-lived concentrations more than in uniform and stable distributions.

When addressing vulnerability in pastoralism, it is therefore crucial to distinguish between this baseline vulnerability, which is strategic and the managing of which is the business of the system, and the unnecessary and dysfunctional vulnerability that arises from the sudden or cumulative incapacity to operate the system due to structural changes triggered by external forces, internal adjustments, or disasters.

Journal of Anthropological Archaeology In many parts of sub-Saharan Africa, pastoral systems are still (or sometimes again) part of a regional integration with crop systems, for example where pastoral herds feed regularly on crop residues on the fields, either in exchange for manure or for cash (Powell et al., 1994).

Agro-pastoral systems, as opposed to mixed farming, often combine within the same household specialized farmers and mobile specialized pastoralists, and therefore maintain livestockcrop integration also at the regional scale.
