About us

The Spanish Platform for Extensive Livestock Systems and Pastoralism (PGEP) is a network of more than 600 individuals and organizations dedicated to supporting extensive livestock farming in Spain.

Through the Plataforma, which combines annual meetings with online communication tools, livestock farmers, conservationists, researchers, government officers, farm advisors, and other third-sector actors can exchange knowledge, share experiences, and collaborate more effectively.

Pastoralism is deeply rooted in Spanish culture and history, offering economic, ecological, social, and cultural benefits. However, it became evident that farmers’ unions, native livestock breed associations, and the environmental sector were often working in isolation, leaving gaps in the support and recognition of this farming practice. To address this, the Plataforma was established in late 2013 with generous support from Entretantos, a non-profit organization that continues to provide secretarial support and facilitate the network’s activities to this day.

Those interested in global initiatives on pastoralism may also want to explore on the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists 2026 (AIPP2026/IYRP2026).
