The project aims to create and test a curriculum and training materials which aim to increase the knowledge of pastoralists, transhumants, shepherds, breeders, territorial cheese makers, facilitators, and experts on agrosylvopastoralist practices, on the following topics:

• Heritage and agroecological practices in agrosylvopastoralism,

• Improving the value chain in dairy production,

• Reaching territorial markets and the effective use of social media 

All activities primarily focus on principles of agroecology and agroecological practices, with special emphasis on how pastoralism, when properly performed, can help mitigate and adapt to climate change. These activities will result in a digital learning space with training, self-assessment and exchange tools, as well as an international community for peer-to-peer learning, experience sharing and support.

The general objectives of the project are:

1. Create a community of peer-to-peer learning and support for pastoralists, cheesemakers and their networks.

2. Develop the partners’ capacities for shaping innovative learning spaces for pastoralists and cheesemakers.

3. Build educational pathways into economically and socially sustainable pastoralist activities for the youth.

4. Contribute to the reputation of pastoralism in the public by emphasizing its role in food security in the context of climate change.
