2nd Webinar on Sustainability - an Open Access Journal
Grazing in Future Multi-Scapes: From Thoughtscapes to Landscapes, Creating Health from the Ground Up
The purpose of this Special Issue is to influence future mental and practical models of pastoralism in continually evolving multiscapes. We seek a collection of papers that will cultivate such a shift in thinking towards future models of sustainable multipurpose pastoralism. The contributions will be synthesized to establish how multifunctional pastoral systems can be re-imagined and then designed in view of the integrative dynamics of sustainable future multiscapes.
These and more will be discussed during the webinar.
