The Agdal system or the art of managing spatio‐temporality of forage resources and risks in the high atlas mountains of Morocco
In the Moroccan mountains, the Berber term A gdal means a sylvopastoral area where access and uses are submitted to collective rules imposed by a traditional community.It usually refers to a judicious temporary seasonal resting area with the agreement of the whole tribal assembly (Jmaa), in order to improve the natural resources growing in situ.However, this practice takes a wide variety of forms depending on the available natural resources and local cosmogony involved.Mainly, the A gdal system constitutes one of the tools for managing diversified, but highly heterogeneous forage resources.Based on a five year research program studying the A gdals functioning, we aim to document the roles of these management types on the livestock systems in the High Atlas Mountains.
