Are you agreeing that the pastoralism is the future if we really wish to have healthy and sustainable food without harming our mother earth? I’m really convinced, we have no other option. All the other options are just fake and have no destination. The factory farming is polluting our lands, water sources and air and ultimately human health. The animals kepts in the intensive farming system are not happy and unhealthy.
I would just share some pictures of the livestock, livestock people and nature connections, beautiful landscapes to express the importance and reliability of the pastoralists’ livestock production system.
Clean water is one of the most important foods for livestock 
The camel has great patience when there is no water and when they get it, they can drink more than 100 liters of water in a short period of time. 
They need water like us. 
The Beautiful Gabbra Camels of the Northern Kenya
Livestock is very important player in the earning of the livelihood for the millions of people in the challenging climatic ecosystems of the world. The pastorlists walk with their families and livestock, searching for vegetation and water. Their livestock remain healthy and reselients.
Their livestock is not only healthy and sustainable but beautiful and adorable.
Point of View from a Pastoralism’s Advocate Umar Saleh Gwani, Nigeria
For countries that do have pastures pastoralism is surely are more sustainable option for animal protein requirement and environmental management.Unfortunately due to competing demands from crop production and mechanised agriculture sub Saharan African countries are currently facing some of the most serious conflicts between pastoralist and crop farmers, due the extent that it has become serious security problem here in Nigeria where arms are now common sight.The pressure from large urban population has forced the pastoralist to move more southward for green pastures and fresh water which has hitherto exposed more farms to risk of cattle damage.For camels there is no problem as the constrained to Sahel regions of Northern Nigeria and their population can thrive within the region since they’re hardly used in the southern parts of Nigeria for meat.If the farmers/herders conflict can be resolved then a huge window of opportunity exist to improve sustainable animal production through pastoralism

Absolutely agree, there is no way we can carry on regardless.
Thank you for highlighting this issue again.

Pastoralism is the way to sustainable nature systems. Livestock is our walking bank, our ecosystem enabler, our moving protein. It is up to date soil ecosystem replenishement material.
It is the source of life because it carries seed that regenrates earth.
Yes really, livestock is a treasure on hooves. Pastoralist is the option back to the future.
I am Gabbra. I grew up drinking camel milk. I have been carried on camel back. I have cared for camels. I sing for camels. Actually I just did one as I was driving home from office. I own camels n most probably I will retire into a life around camels.
Camel is very useful and multifunctional creature on the earth. You are doing great job. I can feel your connection with the camels.
Really pastoralism is the future of mother Earth because I am pastoralist I do practice the system which is very important to everyone.
Yes, pastoralism has no hidden negative impacts on environment and human health.
I am Gabbra. I grew up drinking camel milk. My widowed mother raised us on camel milk, paying my school fees from sales of camel milk. I am a veterinarian and so much interested in camel health. Have assisted in several research on camel. The recent study on camel mastitis, Subclinical mastitis, which I coauthored was published in US dairy journal. I have been carried on camel back. I have cared for camels. I sing for camels. Actually I just did one as I was driving home from office. I own camels n most probably I will retire into a life around camels.
I share a lot with Jilo Katelo Molu.
