Sheep breeding in central Tunisia remains widespread, despite the many problems it had to face since the 1970s: climate hazards, socio-economic and cultural changes and the development of cropped area. These changes have led to a decrease in forage resources from rangelands. The aim of this study was to understand how families are able to maintain sheep breeding in such a context. The study involved a survey among a sample of 60 farmers in 2012-2013. We identified four types of livestock systems. Three types are based on the raising of ewes and the production of lean or fat lambs. "Transhumant pastoralists" are using long-distance mobility to access rangelands with wild vegetation, managed by the State. "Crop-Livestock" farmers use stubble ...
