L'agro-pastoralisme mobile des agdals du Haut Atlas

This study describes the mobile agro-pastoralism of the Ait Ikiss, community of the High Atlas of Marrakech. The transhumance on which is based the mobile agropastoralism of the Ait Ikiss is particularly nested within a system of agdals. This agdals system consists on prohibiting grazing in different habitats and at different times of the year to create additional pastoral areas (particularly abundant in herbaceous resources), allowing a rest to different strata of vegetation, as well as the establishment of seedlings, thus maintaining the agro-pastoral activity and ecosystems that sustain this community of the Ait Ikiss through the generations.
