Necessity of mobility strategy to risk aversion livestock husbandry: a case from Bayantala village of Xilingol prefecture,Inner Mongolia,China
Introduction Highly temporal and spatial variability in arid grassland ecosystem adds risk and uncertainty to livestock husbandry (Behnke and Scoones, 1993 ). Traditionally, Mongolian herders adapted to the fluctuation by moving herds to greener grassland (Sneath, 2000), while the lately implemented Household Responsibility Contract System ( HPRS) in pastoral Inner Mongolia encouraged a settled form of livestock raising, pen‐raising, which relies primarily on stable forage input to prevent ecological stresses.
