Factsheet: Climate-smart Livestock Value Chains in Mongolia
Strengthening Climate-smart Livestock Value Chains for Nomadic Herders.
Mongolia is combining improved pasture and herd management with plans for local meat processing to help nomadic herders protect their livestock, strengthen incomes and adapt to climate shocks.
The project combines pasture and herd management with a feasibility study for local meat processing in Bayantümen. Rotational grazing, disease control and selective breeding aim to improve forage, herd health and productivity. Proposed processing business models incorporate renewable energy and energy efficiency, helping communities explore ways to earn more from livestock products. Training supports these changes, with the aim of strengthening livelihoods and resilience to climate shocks.
