Tanzania’s traditional livestock grazing systems are under pressure. As population growth and economic growth increase demand for milk and meat, farming is also facing the effects of both climate change and the allocation of grazing land to other uses including conservation and urban development.

He discusses the challenges and trade-offs both of intensifying production and of government-led allocation of new grazing areas to herders.
