Nutritional fodder - New life
Nutritional fodder - New life
Land degradation is a big environmental problem which often causes economic damages to herders? livelihoods in Mongolia. Herders loose many animals every year due to insufficient grass growth caused by land degradation. People do not know how to fight land degradation. However, many people suggest that green fodder plantation which can restore depleted and abandoned crop lands may help solve the problem. A community from Tuvshruuleh sum of Arhangai province has strongly suggested to exercise a green fodder cultivation practice in a area where soil erosion and land degradation has been intensified by natural factors. It will be a win-win project for both environment and livelihood improvement. The grant is given to this local community to exercise a green fodder cultivation practice in order to fight soil erosion and land degradation. For the first year, green fodder was planted and the result was outstanding. A province level Fall Show Case was organized in September 2005 for all 18 sum representatives of the province. Governor of the province and some officials from Ministry of Food and Agriculture had attended the Show Case. More protective measures including plantation of different kinds of trees will be taken from the spring of 2006.
