DEFEND role: Vice-coordinator of WP3

Michele Nori is a Tropical Agronomist with a further specialisation in Rural Sociology and a specific expertise on the livelihood systems of pastoral communities.

Through interfacing field practices, academic research and policy making levels, he has developed a ‘horizontal career’; this is based on more than 20 years’ of global collaborations with a number of organisations at different levels.

His concern has always been to work at the interfaces between different disciplines as well as between the field practice, academy and policy-making domains on matters related to sustainable agro-pastoral livelihoods and rural development.

He is currently involved with Prof. Ian Scoones from the Institute of Development Studies in elaborating and developing a project that links pastoralism to our society in a provocative way – ‘can we learn from pastoralists in managing risks, living with uncertainties and building resilience’ (www.pastres.org).
