Join us for an inspiring online exchange dedicated to revitalizing pastoralism in Europe’s mountain and rural regions, organised as part of the LIFE project ShepForBio (Shepherds for Biodiversity in Mountain Marginal Areas). This forum will bring together pastoral schools, experts, and practitioners to explore new approaches to training, knowledge sharing, and business innovation in extensive livestock systems.

Discover real-world experiences and case studies that show how shepherds’ education, ecological stewardship, and rural entrepreneurship can go hand in hand, ensuring a resilient and sustainable future for pastoral communities.

During this event, get ready to explore three key themes:

• Rethinking the economic potential of shepherding
• Sharing pastoral knowledge: a tool for access and a driver of innovation
• Innovative approaches to ecology and climate change: adaptation, mitigation and management strategies

The Forum entitled Shepherding Futures: Training, Innovation, and Rural Revival will be held online on 4 December from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
