The Agrarian Conversations series aims to address strategic and urgent issues in and in relation to the rural world today. The format is conversational: 15 minutes input from the main speaker, 15 minutes from a panel of discussants, and 50 minutes open plenary (Q&A) discussion. A background paper is provided in advance to help facilitate a conversational format.

In our first episode, we explore what we can learn from the world of pastoralism for wider agrarian struggles? Given increasingly common agrarian struggles, this first edition of Agrarian Conversations will examine the importance of seeking greater engagement across agrarian movements.

Speakers for this episode are:

• Ian Scoones, PASTRES Programme, Institute of Development Studies (IDS), Sussex, UK
• Maryam Rahmanian (IPES)
• Rahma Hassan PhD Fellow, University of Copenhagen and University of Nairobi
