Selective Methods to Investigate Authenticity and Geographical Origin of Mediterranean Food Products

“…Until the eighties, about 70-90% of the local production of mutton and lamb came from sheep raised in natural grazing areas. Nowadays, small ruminant producers are compelled to practice the feedlot system of fattening lambs to increase the slaughter body weight, especially for the period of the increasing demand of lamb and goat meat corresponding to various religious observances [79] . However, in Tunisia like in other regions of the world, people believe that only sheep and beef produced on grassland and natural pasture is authentic meat and are often considered to be of superior quality [80,81] with additional market value [82] .…”

Herding through Uncertainties – Principles and Practices. Exploring the Interfaces of Pastoralists and Uncertainty. Results from a Literature Review

“…Specialized herd management often implies the establishment of an 'élite herd' with specific productive, commercial, or reproductive purposes and which is detached during some seasons from the rest of the animals and managed accordingly. An 'elite herd' might include milking animals that remain near the homestead during transhumance, animals devoted to milking or fattening schemes for marketing purposes, or a nucleus herd that holds a strategic role in terms of herd reproduction or survival through difficult events (Elloumi et al, 2006;Catley, 2017). Amongst (often poor) pastoralists living in periurban areas this implies the maintenance of few smallstock close to towns (Robbins, 1994;Cincotta and Pangare, 1994;Krätli and Swift, 2013).…”

“…Cases are also reported whereby agricultural practices-crop farming as much as arboriculture-are applied as a means of claiming portions of communal lands aimed at securing (or operationalizing) rights of use to a specific group. This is not necessarily a process through which élites grab land from collective properties; rather it seems to be a widespread and accepted practice across social strata, also 'from below', without, in many cases, complaint from the community (IFAD, 1995;Elloumi et al, 2006;Tag, 2007;Lazarev, 2008;Borbouze, 2012;Tache, 2013). Crop farming is one of the drivers contributing to the fragmentation of rangelands, triggering conflict in some areas.…”

Livelihoods Strategies and Household Resilience to Food Insecurity: A Case Study from Rural Tunisia

“…One of the most important conclusions based on this study is the significant need for concrete policy implementations in Selta and Zoghmar. Facing more than one challenge, especially with the accelerated deterioration of natural resources, added to the exhaustion of the development model based on the agricultural sector's [24] resilience, which means that improving governmental policy is crucial to facilitating the development of the two zones. The major focus should be to work on the elaboration and successful implementation of the strategies along with education.…”
