Transhumance et gestion des ressources naturelles au Sahel : contraintes et perspectives face aux mutations des systèmes de productions pastorales

In the Sahelian region of Burkina Faso, the dominant livestock keeping system is the pastoral system characterized by a high dependence on natural resources. Currently, the traditional practices are not any more able to respond efficiently to the recurrent animal’s feeding and watering problems. The...

description	In the Sahelian region of Burkina Faso, the dominant livestock keeping system is the pastoral system characterized by a high dependence on natural resources. Currently, the traditional practices are not any more able to respond efficiently to the recurrent animal’s feeding and watering problems.

This present work aims to make a baseline on the transhumance practices and its perspectives in the context of ongoing great mutation of livestock production system in the Sahel.
