WHAT DOES TRANSHUMANT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

transhumant

Transhumance

Transhumance is the seasonal movement of people with their livestock between fixed summer and winter pastures. In montane regions it implies movement between higher pastures in summer and lower valleys in winter. Herders have a permanent home, typically in valleys. Only the herds travel, with the people necessary to tend them. In contrast, horizontal transhumance is more susceptible to being disrupted by climatic, economic or political change. Traditional or fixed transhumance occurs or has occurred throughout the inhabited world, particularly Europe and Southwest Asia. It is often of high importance to pastoralist societies, the dairy products of transhumance flocks and herds often forming much of the diet of such populations. In many languages there are words for the higher summer pastures, and frequently these words are found as place names: e.g. Hafod in Wales. The term "transhumance" is also occasionally used in correlation with nomadic pastoralism – migration of people and livestock over longer distances.
