Professor Pablo Gregorini.
An international virtual conference that focuses on cultivating a shift towards more sustainable and ethical grazing systems will involve presentations from experts all over the world.
Hosted by Lincoln University, the series includes six weekly online workshops, to take place between 31 May and 5 July 2021.
Professor Pablo Gregorini says the event is not to be missed.
“We’re aiming to influence future theoretical and practical models of pastoralism with a series of talks from a wide range of experts. Participants will be exposed to cutting-edge thinking and practice, with an international audience of scientists, academics, postgraduate students and policymakers, as well as farmers from around the world.”
Discussions will centre on re-imagining models of pastoralism by referring to what Gregorini refers to as “grazing in multiscapes”.
The multiscapes include ways of thinking, environments, dietary perceptions and health, societal demands, and issues relating to interactions between agriculture and wildlife.
Keynote speakers will cover subjects as diverse as system thinking, rangeland, grasslands, grazing management, ecology, indigenous development, agroecology, environmental ethics and sustainability, economic sociology, natural resources management, and landscape design.
