Social Network Analysis of the Stakeholders Involved in the Dromedary Sector in the Mediterranean Region

Marginal arid zones in the south Mediterranean are faced with the dramatic departure of their labor forces through migration. Interest in the capacity of the dromedary species to enhance desert ecosystems and to be a potential lever of economic development of these marginal zones only started to gro...
