Detailed Solution

Pastoralism is a sustainable way of life on rugged terrain. They do not consistently reside in the same place. But they migrate in cycles or at regular intervals. Pastoralism is nomadism in which a person travels with their animals, which supplies him with food and non-food items like fibre and cotton. The survival of their cattle, and consequently their own lives, would be at risk during the beginning of the dry season or when there is less rainfall, so these nomads relocate to various locations in quest of lush grazing space. This allowed pastoralists to maintain their way of life.
