Jeff Hill, in his role as director for policy at USAID Bureau for Food Security, was recently quoted as saying that It is not drought, but vulnerability to drought that is eroding food security in [the drylands of Somalia, Ethiopia, and Kenya] and this vulnerability is a result of chronic underinvestment (Tran, 2011). 2000323 BC, Blackwell, Oxford.

Third, there has been a long and widespread undermining of pastoralists' socio-cultural apparatus of values, codes of conduct, and institutions through programs aimed at changing pastoralists' mindset, from overt indoctrination through missionary and development work to anti-pastoralism teaching embedded within formal education curricula, without asking whether or not such values, codes of conduct, and institutions play a role in securing the resilience and performance of pastoral production (Figure 5).

In general, the literature on pastoralists' own perceptions of poverty, vulnerability, well-being, and identity consistently highlights the importance of livestock ownership, social connectedness, and a position in society that enables the sharing or receipt of livestock (Haaland and Keddeman 1984; Deng 1998; Harragin 1998; Helander 1999; Talle .

Re-qualifying the problem-solution set here, taking the instability-as-an-asset perspective seriously, would mean to develop DEWS into knowledge management frameworks able to simultaneously inform both dimensions of pastoral systems (as pastoralists' institutions for knowledge management do): not only for risk aversion as in traditional DEWS, but also for improving sustained production through informing and optimizing strategic mobility. In the 21st century, this concern intersects with four crisis scenarios that have come to dominate global agricultural policies: the ecological crisis around the degradation of agricultural land, now accompanied by new alarms for greenhouse gas emissions and climate change; the fuel crisis which transformed allegedly empty and resource-poor drylands into a sought-after asset for producing biofuel or securing the subsidies associated with governments' pledges for green energy; the financial crisis, as the collapse of the subprime mortgage market in the U.S. and in Europe in 20052006 made commodities index funds, including those for agricultural land and grains, an attractive alternative for investors; and finally the food crisis, as alarm over food-price volatility during the 20072008 spike highlighted the dependency of agricultural commodity prices on the oil price and the influence of the global financial market.
