The Global Agenda for Sustainable Livestock (GASL) is launching a series of webinars, developed jointly with its broader network of partners, to kick off its work in support to the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists (IYRP) and the International Year of the Woman Farmer (IYWF) in 2026. These observances provide an important platform to recognize the contributions of pastoralists, rangeland communities, and women farmers to sustainable food systems and rural development.
As part of its commitment to supporting the objectives of the International Years, GASL has worked closely with a diverse task force composed of numerous GASL partners to identify key priority themes, ensure diversity across all sessions, and reflect global perspectives and on-the-ground realities. Find out more about the work of the task force.
The seven webinars (listed below) will showcase shared knowledge, field experience, and innovative solutions emerging from stakeholders engaged in pastoral and grazing livestock systems. They aim to deepen collective understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing rangeland communities and highlight how coordinated multistakeholder action can contribute to the success of the 2026 International Years.
Each webinar will feature expert insights and partner-led case studies, with opportunities for dialogue among participants. Agenda and registration details for each session will be announced closer to the date.
