Pastoralism, or nomadic herding, is a form of livestock farming that works in harmony with nature rather than against it. By prioritizing the mobility of their animals, these herders contribute to the preservation of ecosystems and the food security of millions of people.
On the occasion of the International Year of the UN for Pastoralists and Grasslands, Anthony Denayer (Veterinarians Without Borders) will engage in conversation with Flemish herders, accompanied by the screening of a selection of film clips about nomadic herders worldwide.
