Body

An understanding of the livestock systems and grasslands in Inner Mongolia is essential in order to identify a solution to the enormous issues these people face. These issues include the degradation of the Inner Mongolian grasslands, poor public perception of farming areas due to dust storms in Beijing and the possibility of an unsustainable future in agriculture. A participatory method was used to determine the training needs of herders in 2 villages of Inner Mongolia and a hands-on workshop series was developed to meet these training needs.
