Description
Daniel O. Omokpariola reviews how climate swings shape the food and health of herding peoples in dry Africa in a paper from 2026. Livestock anchor food security and diet quality in arid and semi-arid lands, yet the paths from herds to human nutrition under climate stress were scattered across studies.
The review followed PRISMA rules and searched five databases for work from 2006 to 2026, keeping 60 studies for close reading. Outcomes spanned household diet variety and food security marks, plus milk intake, micronutrient gaps, and child growth faults such as wasting and stunting. The evidence shows herds feed families through linked paths, both by giving milk and meat and by giving income for other foods. The synthesis gives policy makers a clearer map of where climate shocks cut nutrition first.
