Pastoral systems have evolved to function with the natural
environment and therefore with variability. By identifying
variability as an entry point, this paper aims at (i) engaging FAO
in the mainstreaming of pastoralism by establishing the
understanding of pastoralism, and its systematic inclusion in the
normal operations of FAO, and at (ii) presenting an evidence based
narrative on pastoralism to a specialists' audience. Two main
points are made in this document: First, pastoral systems are
emblematic of farming with nature. Second, pastoral systems make
use of variability in inputs (the environment) by matching it with
variability in their own operational processes (flexibility in
movements, animal breeds, labour force, etc.) in such a way as to
reduce the variability in outputs (animal production and health,
household's food security, etc).Since 2015, the Pastoralist
Knowledge Hub (PKH) has helped creating an institutional space for
connecting and coordinating work on pastoralism within FAO. An
Inter-Departmental Working Group on Pastoralism has been formed.
The conceptual framework of this paper and early versions have
benefited from comments and guidance of FAO staff as well as of
specialists of pastoralism worldwide
