This open access short reader looks into the dynamics which have
reshaped rural development and human landscapes in European
agriculture and the role of immigrant people. Within this framework
it analyses contemporary rural migrations and the emergence of
immigrants in relation to the incorporation of agrarian systems
into global markets, the European agricultural governance (CAP),
and the struggle of local territories as differentiated practices
in constant stress between innovation and resilience. It
specifically explores the case of immigrant shepherds to describe
the reconfiguration of agriculture systems and rural landscapes in
Europe following intense immigration and the related provision of
skilled labour at a relatively low cost. Being written in a very
accessible way, this reader is an interesting read to students,
researchers, academics, policy makers, and practitioners.
Somali pastoralism has undergone dramatic changes in the last two
decades; the collapse of the central state, with the fall of
Barre's regime, and increasing integration into regional and
international market systems have reflected and induced major
societal reconfiguration. With more than 6 million dromedaries in
Somalia camel milk traditionally represents a main local staple
food. As a result of the turmoil that has remoulded the Somali
socio-economic fabric, camel milk has increasingly become a
marketable commodity and its trade has developed accordingly. By
investigating the nature and the dynamics of camel milk production
and commercialisation this work explores the ways such recent
changes have impacted on local livelihoods in a specific portion of
Somalia - the north-eastern territories of Puntland. This thesis
explores the extensive networks and sophisticated arrangements and
mechanisms of cooperation enabling camel milk marketing and
examines the set of social and cultural relations that characterise
them. Through a comparative analysis with the more traditional
trade of livestock the dynamics behind the integration of pastoral
economies into market dynamics are unveiled.
