Environmental policy and administrative management

Tsargas (Mongolian name) is a fodder plant which can be planted in a dry and degraded place to fight land degradation and restore depleted and abandoned crop land in Mongolia. One small community had showed interest to practice the growing this plant in order to fight soil erosion in an abandoned land and make some livelihood benefits to feed livestock. The grant is given to this local community to exercise a green fodder cultivation practice in order to prevent soil erosion and land degradation. However, the community leader passed away suddenly at his young age and the NC has temporarily suspended the implementation until the spring of 2006.
