2023 will be the year of the 1st celebrated Day of Pastoralism with many years to follow.

On Thursday, November 9th Palazzo Pirelli in Milan will open its doors to celebrate the very first Day of Pastoralism, which in the future will be celebrated each year on November 11th

Mountain pastures, transhumance and pastoralism are three connected key components for the protection of the environment, food production as well as cultural heritage.

For this reason ERSAF (Ente Regionale per i Servizi all’ Agricoltura e alle Foreste) is organizing a conference in the name of Pastoralism that will have talks and discussions on the profession of shepherds, territory, routes of transhumance as well as native animal breeds all in the context of history, identity and future visions.
