“…Often initiated in colonial times, postindependence governments continued to both construct facilities and finance their operations and maintenance at subsidised prices. After the big droughts of the 1970s and 1980s, several states (such as Senegal and Burkina Faso) initiated programs for ranching with inadequate or mixed results (Greenough and Neya 2016;Hochet and Guissou 2010;Manoli et al 2014;Nelen, Traoré, and Ouattara 2004;Touré et al 2012).…”

But it is by no means the only shock of our time that puts global food security under pressure. Climate change, the increase in pandemics due to animal disease transfer and biodiversity loss will further increase pressure on existing food systems. Resilient, sustainable food systems, striking a balance between social, economic and environmental impacts, must be the answer. And that requires a different approach than 'producing more food'; it requires thinking in systems thinking and 'producing food in a better way'.Early 2020 the World Bank and the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs approached Wageningen University and Research with the question: How resilient are West African food systems and how to strengthen their resilience? The World Bank was in the process of developing a regional programme for that purpose and expressed its interests to Wageningen University & Research to obtain evidenced-based insights that could be used during its consultations and formulation. Wageningen University & Research quickly set up a dedicated team, and invited experts from the Royal Tropical Institute (KIT), European Centre for Development Policy Management (ECDPM) and Mr. Joost Nelen to join.Diving into the world of West African food systems and their resilience does not provide one with a univocal answer to the questions raised by the World Bank. The systems prove to be very diverse and respond in very different ways to shocks such as provoked by the COVID-19 pandemic. Whereas some systems show higher levels of resilience, others show important vulnerabilities to specific shocks. Income and power disparities between stakeholders in the systems, such as defined by gender differences, appear to be important, explaining why people's livelihoods are sometimes threatened, while other people have buffers and capacities to respond.

Shift in herders’ territorialities from regional to local scale: the political ecology of pastoral herding in western Burkina Faso

In Burkina Faso, livestock sedentarization programmes are still at the top of policy makers' agendas and at the heart of their discourse, despite huge changes in land cover, land use and territorialities in rural areas. This paper contributes to the literature on the impact of livestock policies targeting the sedentarization of pastoralism in sub-Saharan Africa by specifically highlighting the territorial consequences of such policies. This paper suggests that policies directed at improving livestock governance in a context of climate change and changes in land cover and land tenure need to focus on securing pastoralists' reticular territories, which are made up of corridors and numerous areas of pastureland, rather than on creating disconnected state ranches.
