MED-Amin Newsletter #49

Med-Amin celebrates its 10th birthday.

Recent years have seen the Covid-19 pandemic, soaring prices for agricultural inputs, and the conflict in Ukraine, all of which have led to heightened geopolitical and commercial tensions. In this highly sensitive context, particularly for countries already suffering the consequences of climate change with violent and sometimes recurrent meteorological events, the MEDAmin network has been able to speak with a Mediterranean voice. It has succeeded in bringing together the region’s stakeholders, continuing the gradual construction of early warning tools to better anticipate crises and dealing with them when they arise or become chronic. 

Thanks to the remarkable work of its National Focal Points and associated partner organizations, the MED-Amin network has gradually managed to consolidate its achievements during this turbulent period, and to strengthen dialogue and trust, as well as decision-making and monitoring systems (…) 🔎 to be continued online.

INVITATION CAFÉ DOC “Le Yagour des Imazighren, les hommes libres” directed by Alain BOURBOUZE at CIHEAM Montpellier on February 29, 2024

Posted on February 19, 2024

The CIHEAM Montpellier is delighted to invite you to our first Café Doc of 2024 on Thursday 29 February to watch together a documentary film directed by Alain Bourbouze on The Yagour of the Imazighren, animated by Mélanie Requier-Desjardins.

“70 km south of Marrakech, at the foot of Jbel Meltsen (3600 m), lies the vast Yagour plateau, an exceptional cultural landscape shared by around forty villages. A highly subtle form of community grazing management is based on customary law and relies on the seasonal opening and closing of different collective pastures. This is the practice known as AGDAL… a small miracle of ‘endogenous’ pastoral organization that seems to have stood the test of time.”

Location: CIHEAM Montpellier, Centre de Documentation Méditerranéen, basement of Bât B

The Café Doc will start at 12:30 with coffee and sweets. You are welcome to arrive a little earlier for a chat.

If you would like to register, please contact docassistance@iamm.fr

The film projection will start at 12:45 sharp: 40 minutes, and will be followed by a discussion with the author.

Don’t hesitate to send us your Café Doc proposals for 2024.
