The film, which focuses on sustainable pastoral systems in Italy, brings together diverse stakeholder views on pastoralism’s benefits, challenges and opportunities both now and in the future.

The film takes place in three regions in Italy—Sardinia, the Italian Alps and Abruzzo—where two different types of pastoralism are practised. Pastoralism helps maintain ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration, water infiltration and biodiversity, and as a result, the health of Italian rangelands is, and has been for generations, dependent on the country’s pastoral systems. the film highlights the need for greater investments in pastoral communities, together with mobilization and capacity building along livestock value chains.
