“…Due to unsuitable environmental conditions and unsustainable management, nowadays, most of these pastures are highly degraded [2]. Recent research shows that the pastoral system is best conceptualized as an open system, in which a combination of individual decision making and coordination of movements leads to an ideal free type of distribution of transhumance [3]. Furthermore, results show that pastoral communities derive positive utility in connected systems that enable reciprocal access to pastures [4].…”

“…This is exacerbated when multiple stakeholder 'perspectives, interest, values and concerns regarding the use of water for human-related purposes are involved [23][24][25]. It is important to mention that the complex problems and challenges in the VRM is not different from the situation in Lake Chad basin in West and Central Africa due to massive exploitation by Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Nigeria [26][27][28][29].…”

The water-land-food system is essential for sustaining the basic human needs. While the demand for these resources is increasing rapidly, their sustainability has been hampered by a plethora of challenges, including rapid population growth, climate change, land-use change, and land degradation. To attain a sustainable supply and efficiently manage these resources, interactions between all resources and the factors constraining/sustaining them need to be understood. In this chapter, four systems archetypes based on grounded in the systems thinking framework and system dynamics approach were employed to explore and identify the key system drivers, factors, and processes that influence the behaviour and sustainability of water-land-food resources nexus in the Volta River Basin, West Africa. Development of the archetypes centered on a generic causal loop diagram constructed with stakeholders in previous studies capturing the linkages between the population, water system, environmental and socioeconomics. These system archetypes illustrate that the past and the current paradigm of water and land and agricultural production management is unsustainable. The results highlight key areas, which could be useful for the current and future sustainable management, even under uncertain system understanding or deficiencies in quantitative data.
