Traditional livestock systems in Tanzania;

By highlighting all relevant components of the value chain and the non-market social and environmental impacts of food systems across that value chain, the TEEBAgriFood evaluation framework allows for a better understanding of and forecasting of the outcomes of policy and business decisions. [...] The value of preventing land degradation of pastoral grassland management is quantified as the difference in depreciation of the natural capital value of land of an average hectare of grassland and an average hectare of farmland over the respective amount of food produced in a period of 20 years. [...] Pastoral cattle grow slowly and in a classic gain-loss-gain pattern according to the rhythm of the seasons and the passage of the years. [...] The buyer in the primary markets has higher bargaining power because the demand is lower than the supply, and the number of sellers is high compared to the number of buyers. [...] Based on the system description we define the scope of the pastoral livestock system that we will use in the following chapter to evaluate the economic and produced capital, natural capital and the social and human capital.
