In recent years, Sunan Yugu Autonomous County, Zhangye City, Gansu Province, located at the northern foot of the Qilian Mountains, has fully implemented grassland ecological rewards and subsidies, and guided farmers and herdsmen to adopt a combination of "natural grazing in summer and autumn + house-raising or off-site grazing" The development path of modern animal husbandry promotes the balance of grass and livestock by renting land and borrowing grazing.
From mid-October to mid-March of the next year, more than 100,000 cattle and sheep from more than 300 farmers and herdsmen in nearly 50 villages have moved to the corn stalk fields tens of kilometers away and at a low altitude. .
By borrowing grazing in different places, the grassland vegetation can be recuperated, farmers and herdsmen can increase their income and become rich, and the manure and straw can be effectively used, achieving the goal of "win-win" development of production and ecological protection.
