About the journal

Scope

Pastoralism: Research, Policy and Practice (Pastoralism) aims to be the leading journal in the field by publishing open access premier articles on extensive livestock production systems throughout the world. Pastoralists rely on rangelands and livestock for their livelihoods, but exhibit different levels of mobility and market involvement, and operate under a variety of different land tenure regimes. Pastoralism publishes articles that intend to influence public policy, to improve the welfare of these people and better conserve the environments in which they live. The journal investigates pastoralism from a variety of disciplinary perspectives across the biophysical, social and economic sciences.
