Track 2-07: Climate Change Impacts on Grassland Production, Composition, Distribution and Adaptation
Description
The Algerian steppe grasslands cover about 30 million ha located between the 100 and 400 mm isohyets. It feeds about 15 to 23 million sheep and goats, depending on the year (MARA 1974). To assist agro-pastoralists plan for future we wanted to know:
- What perceptions do different pastoralists and agro-pastoralists have of climate change?
- Have these land users changed the way they are man-aging their livestock and crop production enterprises? and,
- How do changes adopted differ pastoralists and agro-pastoralists?
