Nourrir l'humanité sans détruire la planète : pourquoi la durabilité alimentaire devient un critère de civilisation Produire davantage ne suffit plus : il faut désormais produire autrement.

Et si la véritable mesure du progrès des sociétés au XXIᵉ siècle n’était plus seulement leur richesse ou leur puissance, mais bien leur capacité à nourrir durablement leurs populations ?

IPROMO 2026: "Mountain rangelands and pastoralists: knowledge, climate resilience and biodiversity prese Mountain rangelands are extensive “working landscapes” that sustain unique ecosystems, cultures and livelihoods across the world’s mountain regions. Managed primarily through pastoralism and agro‑pastoral systems, these landscapes provide essential ecosystem services, including biodiversity conservation, watershed protection, carbon storage and climate regulation. Mountain pastoralism is characterized by mobility, seasonality and the collective use of land and natural resources, enabling human societies to thrive in some of the world’s most environmentally variable and climatically sensitive areas. Mountain rangelands play a central role in sustaining livelihoods and agrifood systems, both locally and beyond mountain regions. Pastoralism supports diverse livestock species and value chains – such as meat, dairy, wool and fibres – while maintaining ecological connectivity across elevations and ecosystems. Pastoral systems are also fundamental to biodiversity conservation in mountain regions, sustaining a wide range of locally adapted livestock breeds – from yaks in the Himalayas to camelids in the Andes – and maintaining rangeland ecosystems that support both wildlife and agrobiodiversity. Yet, pastoralists face growing pressures from climate change, land degradation, biodiversity loss, land fragmentation, insecure tenure and limited access to markets and services. These challenges are compounded by social and demographic changes, including youth outmigration, gender inequalities and the erosion of...
