The land user's son herding the families goats (Christian Wirz, Switzerland)

Family-based daily herding (Тажикистан)

Тодорхойлолт

Private herding of 50 goats by the land user and his sons.

Aims / objectives: The most important objective for the land user is to make a living for his family (himself, his wife, his sons and their families) by means of simple work, without taking money from others that does not belong to him (without taking bribes). Animal husbandry is an important part of his multistrategy (orchard, kitchen garden, haymaking, grazing). He wants his animals to be fat and healthy and measures the success of his work by the prices obtained on the cattle-market. Further, he does not want that animals damage pastures by too high numbers or too early grazing. For example, vegetation cover is important for him, because it is a protection of soils against frost, it is the best reservoir of seeds and it provides dung for oither plants

Methods: The most important method is is the land user's own initiative, since administration reveals to be a handicap rather than a help. The land user understands himself as someone who relfects on problems and searches for solutions. As an example he mentions the visible damages caused especially by cows if they are led to the pastures too early. He does not lead his cows to the pastures before May because of this and he recommends the village to do so, too, for the village herds. For him, it is necessary to learn from the environment and to respect it. He is also convinced that in the new economic reality after the breakdown of Soviet Union, initiative and entrepreneurial spirit are necessary for success.

Stages of implementation: After renting land for the implementation of an orchard, building a hut and cultivating a garden, he bought a herd. This means that for him breakdown of USSR marks the beginning of his 'Self-made man' approach.

Role of stakeholders: Every family member should contribute to the success of the family enterprise.

Арга барилын зорилго ба эерэг нөлөө

Арга барилын үндсэн зорилго, зорилт
The Approach focused mainly on other activities than SLM (Assuring livestock nutrition, minimising labour input for herding. Still, conservation is also important.)

The choice to have an own herd, separated from the village herd and with the daily obligation to send a family member for herding is mainly based on productivity and animal health: Besides having fatter animals on these more distant pastures it permits the land user to keep billy goats separately from the females to avoid having goatlets before the middle of March. This is important as the goatlets might die because of the low temperatures. In village herds animals always stay together. In addition pastures in the hills around his land are better than those close to villages.

The SLM Approach addressed the following problems: Especially during civil war the main challenge was survival. This means, that in insecure times (that still continue to a certain degree) it was necessary to escape the chaos of war, which was best possible by this self-sufficient system.

  • Нийгэм / соёл / шашны хэм хэмжээ, үнэт зүйлс: Jealousy of some villagers led to burning down a part of his orchard. Treatment through the SLM Approach: Trees were planted again. Since then, nothing happened anymore.
  • Хууль, эрхзүйн хүрээ (газар эзэмшил, газар, ус ашиглах эрх): Even if he has a farmer's association with land that he can cultivate autonomously, administration regularly asked him for money to have clear land tenure. Treatment through the SLM Approach: Paying for ones rights is unavoidable. The existing land ownership, land use rights / water rights moderately hindered the approach implementation Even if the land reforms after independance made it possible to build up a farmer's association and to rent land, its slow implementation and the partly unclear land tenure make it difficult to plan business. For example, planting trees for rehabilitation would require the security that the returns by improved pastures would profit the land user. As a further example, the land user would have liked to start a factory with mineral water, but his rights for the use of water are unclear and he is

Арга барил нь ГТМ-ийн технологийг хэрэгжүүлж, хадгалахад газар ашиглагчдад тусласан уу?

It helped in the sense of allowing the land user to develop and implement a herding system by himself. It only helped little because the main reason for having less erosion than in other places is the lower accessibility.

Арга барил нь эмзэг бүлгийнхнийг нийгэм, эдийн засгийн хувьд чадавхижуулсан уу?

x
Арга барил нь ГТМ-ийн технологийг хэрэгжүүлэхэд саад учруулсан газрын эзэмшил / ашиглах эрхийг сайжруулахад чиглэсэн үү?

The fact of being able to graze only slightly used village pastures without paying additional rent fees is positive.

x
Did other land users / projects adopt the Approach?

The land user did not mention anyone else with a similar herding system. It might only make sense to have an own herd daily grazing in a more or less fix area under the circumstances given: low accessibility for the village herd and a completely self-sufficient family-enterprise.

Дүгнэлт, сургамж

Давуу тал: газар ашиглагчийн бодлоор
  • Having land that he can use alone (only garden and orchard) or at least quite independently (pastures) is an advantage for him. (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: Giving him the right to use the pastures as a part of his farmer's association would be an interesting option for him.)
  • Because his approach is based on observations, the land user has a good knowledge of the state of environment and especially of livestock.
  • There is a potential of more fodder-production (esparset, lucerne) thanks to the rented land. (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: This might enable him to keep more animals, which is his objective.)
Давуу тал: эмхэтгэгч эсвэл бусад мэдээлэл өгсөн хүмүүсийн бодлоор
  • It combines a reasonable use of available workforce with minimal labour inputs, for instance by leaving the cows on the pastures without a herder. (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: Continuity is given thanks to both sons' decision to continue the project of their father with their families)
  • It is based on the reflected, autonomous decisions of a land user with a good education. (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: Education of sons and grandchildren is important for the land user.)

  • No systematical monitoring and no research on the efficiency of this herding system are carried out on the land user's land. Collaboration with the soil institute might be interesting and might be facilitated by the land user's past function as research coordinator of this institute .
  • No clear land use rights and charges defined in a possibly new legal situation (semiprivate use of pastures). Land reforms must define if and under which conditions pastures can be rented by privates.
  • No research or systematical monitoring exist in the study-area for this herding system Collaboration with soil institute, whose former brigadier the land user was.
