This session, which opens the three-day workshop programme, will highlight a new perspective on extensive livestock systems that embraces ‘uncertainty,’ challenges conventional policy ideas and introduces new thinking on livestock and climate change, biodiversity protection and pastoral development.

The opening talk will be presented by the principal investigator of PASTRES, Professor Ian Scoones, followed by four short presentations on key findings around the themes of Mobility and migration; Land and the environment; Markets and livelihoods; and Social protection and insurance. 4 high-level commentators (speakers tbc) will provide their input followed by an open discussion/Q and A.
