Establishment of a paddock system and improvement of … [Géorgie]

In a pilot project, degraded pastureland near the settlement of Kasristskali was regenerated by introducing a fencing, mowing and grazing regime that favours the growth of forage plants instead of weeds and, where necessary, reseeding forage plants.

2. Description de l'Approche de GDT

2.1 Courte description de l'Approche

The approach demonstrates the effect and importance of rotational grazing by fencing certain areas of land in pasture areas as well as it demonstrates the rehabilitation process in comparison to the open space which is overgrazed. The approach involves mobilizing communities to observe the rehabilitation process by not grasing in the area for a certain period of time.

2.2 Description détaillée de l'Approche

Description détaillée de l'Approche:

Community member’s understanding, especially the members of PUUs, is low on the rehabilitation techniques of degraded pasture and the effect of rotation on a timely use of different pasture plots. In order to demonstrate the result of grazing a demonstration site in the area of one hectare was fenced. In comparison to this plot the community routinely grazed the open space, next to the fenced plot. In a short period of one season the result demonstrates that the plot, which is fenced, is faster rehabilitated compared to the open space next to it, which was uncontrolled grazed by the community .

The result also shows that productivity is increased in that plot and was used for collecting fodder for off-season during wintertime.

Through organizing field days and exposure of farmers to this area, farmers understanding on applying rotation and sustainable use of pasture area is increased.
The approach was applied in the open field of community pasture, which has been previously overgrazed and abandoned as unused land. In collaboration with the community level organization the land use rights were arranged for one of the land users and the territory was fenced in the area of one hectare. The fenced area was protected for only one season but showed good results compared to the open field next to it nonetheless.
In a short period the approach demonstrates how effective applying a sustainable grazing plan is, which land users also liked. Community members, who also owned livestock acquired a simple approach to protect their pasture and applied the approach when developing their pasture and livestock management plan.

2.3 Photos de l'approche

Remarques générales concernant les photos:

By visualizing the process of rehabilitation of the degraded pasture compared to the one which is not fenced, it is clearly demonstrated in a short period of time how effective it is to control grazing. In the pasture area which is overgrazed by community, the grazing is now banned in the degraded area. The area is fenced and trees are planted inside to stabilize the land.

2.7 Type d'Approche

  • initiative/ innovation récente locale

2.8 Principaux objectifs de l'Approche

The main objective to use this approach is to raise awareness of the community members on the cause of overgrazing and demonstrating the technique of rehabilitation and sustainable use of pasture through effective pasture rotations.

2.9 Conditions favorisant ou entravant la mise en œuvre de la(des) Technologie(s) appliquée(s) sous l'Approche

normes et valeurs sociales/ culturelles/ religieuses
  • favorise

There are no obstacles from any norms to contribute to the sustainable use of the natural resource. The religious and cultural norms are motivating sustainable use of pasture resource, especially the religious norms considering the nature as a gift from heaven.

disponibilité/ accès aux ressources et services financiers
  • entrave

Access to materials for fencing the big area of land in other communities for replication can be problematic.
Moreover, pasture land is considered as common community resource, therefore there are less incentives for investing financial resources.

gouvernance foncière (prise de décisions, mise en œuvre et application des décisions)
  • favorise

The approach motivates ownerships interest over land resources and demonstrates the private interest in protection and rehabilitation of the land resource.

connaissances sur la GDT, accès aux supports techniques
  • favorise

The approachnot is not very technically, just simple fencing which is applied in all aspects by community.

charge de travail, disponibilité de la main-d'œuvre
  • entrave

Because of high rate of migration of youth there is not enough manpower available in these rural areas, which is making it difficult for older generation to work in the field.

  • Oui, beaucoup

Through improving land conditions fodder was collected from the area, which brought additional income as the need to buy additional fodder for livestock was lowered.

6.2 Principale motivation des exploitants des terres pour mettre en œuvre la GDT

  • augmenter la production

increased fodder production

  • augmenter la rentabilité/ bénéfice, rapport coûts-bénéfices

improved livestock conditions and profit from selling livestock products

  • réduire la dégradation des terres

After fencing and controlling the grazing the grass started to grow and slowly the land was rehabilitated.

  • réduire les risques de catastrophe

In the slopes area, where grazing was prevented the land cover (grass-biomass) improved and stabilized the slopes.

  • améliorer les connaissances et compétences en GDT

Through field days knowledge on use of SLM improved and applied in other communities.
