The GFS FSR Programme has launched a new policy and practice brief that recommends actions for enhancing the resilience of grazing livestock systems.
The ResULTS team have produced a range of leaflets (PDF) which communicate aspects of the project in a graphical and colourful format.
The overall aims of this project are to understand the resilience of livestock production in remote upland regions of the UK to climate change and other shocks, the consequences to the global and local food systems of these responses, and to provide policy makers, food chain actors and individual stakeholders’ knowledge with which to adapt to challenges to food systems.
Questions of food security have tended to focus on urban areas as the centres of population and with the most limited access to land to produce local food. However, food security is equally important in remote, upland regions of the UK. Livelihoods in hill areas have been historically dominated by grazing beef and sheep.
