The modifications produced by climate change make it necessary to establish mitigation and adaptation strategies for livestock sector. Extensive livestock farming is a sector that adapts continuously and dynamically to the changes and conditions that arise, making it a very important tool as part of the solution to climate change. Their resilience involves efficient use of resources and proper scheduling of their use that guarantees sustainable management of pastures, animals and farms to mitigate climate change, minimizing waste generation and allowing agricultural‑livestock synergy. The management of the pastoral systems will have a fundamental role in minimizing the climatic impact on livestock by contributing to conserve biodiversity. Furthermore, forecasting systems are essential for the development of adaptation strategies, anticipating decision-making and avoiding as far as possible the adverse effects caused by climate change.
