I am looking for couple of case studies illustrating the socio-economic benefits of sustainable grassland management? Preferably for the Mediterranean region
I think the Conservation Research Program in the U.S. could be a good example.

As I've seen through some different approaches, the WOCAT one is a realistic and practical approach

Dear Mounir,
The Capital Institute has a whole stream of research dedicated to grasslands http://fieldguide.capitalinstitute.org/grasslands.html. Furthermore, there is a conservation program currently active in Vermont working on bridle grassland conservation that integrates sustainable management. http://vtecostudies.org/projects/grasslands/
I think the first one is more relevant to your question

This is a study on grassland in Mongolia

Dear Dr, Mounir
The best examples I ever remember are from Mrs. Elinor Östron, Economic Nobel Prize in 2009. You could statr with this simple brochure:

Best regards,
There is a very interesting (ongoing) project in Uruguay by the National research institute, working with co-innovation with cattle family farmers improving productivity, income and ecosystem service provision with grazing management as the basis:

In this congress there are many presentations by Ruggia, Scarlato, Aguerre, Paparamborda and Blumetto: http://fsd5.european-agronomy.org/presentations.html
There are methodology basics from Virginia Dale, McBride, and Esther Parish available.
Hi Dear!
To get all thing about your issues, you better contact Professor Zerihun Woldu of Addis Ababa University. He has done his M.Sc. and P.h.D. in grassland vegetation.
Best!
