Between Sept-Dec 2019, the Man Food team undertook a scoping project for some new research in the Maasai Mara, in collaboration with colleagues at the Technical University of Kenya. We looked at how local and indigenous knowledges and practices were responding to climate uncertainty, and marking a shift from traditional livestock-based pastoralism to alternative food systems that could support planetary healthier diets.
As well as with university colleagues, we worked with a number of stakeholders in Kenya, which made for an incredibly rich project that we hope to develop through future partnerships. A project report can be downloaded below, with further writing to follow in future.
