In discussions around food systems and the climate,
livestock is often painted as the villain. While some livestock
production in some places contributes significantly to climate
change, this is not universally the case. This article focuses on
pastoral production systems – extensive, often mobile systems
using marginal rangelands across around half of the world’s
surface, involving many millions of people. By examining the
assumptions behind standard calculations of greenhouse gas
emissions, a systematic bias against pastoralism is revealed.
Many policy and campaign stances fail to discriminate
between different material conditions of production, lumping all
livestock systems together. Injustices arise through the framing
of debates and policy knowledge; through procedures that
exclude certain people and perspectives; and through the
distributional consequences of policies. In all cases, extensive
livestock keepers lose out. In reflecting on the implications for
European pastoralism, an alternative approach is explored
where pastoralists’ knowledge, practices and organisations take
centre‑stage. |
