In this approach the inclination of pasture land and its effect on the spread of sun and shadow is used to identify different periods for grazing. This simple approach will raise awareness and provides biological aspects in pasture management. In this approach the vegetation cover of the pasture is linked to the position of the sun. This is specific to mountain areas, where in one location vegetation periods can differ in two spots although they are in the same location.
Pasture calendar services the PUU as part of the implementation of the plan with a specific timeframe and activities. It helps communities in designing intervention with regard to the need of agreed activities in the calendar.
"Pasture and Livestock Management Plan" is a participatory approach which is guiding pasture users, members of Pasture User Unions and Pasture User Groups to develop their action plan on pasture and livestock management. The approach brings together stakeholders, who are involved at any stage in pasture management or can contribute to or impede the implementation of the pasture livestock management plan.
Технология использование экосанитарные туалеты состоит в том, что протцесс выполнение туалета идёт с раздельным сбором урины и фекалий и их последующимиспользованием в качестве удобрений. Практика внедрения и работы экосанитарных (или «сухих») туалетов показала их важное значение врешении проблемы загрязнения человеком окружающей среды на бытовом уровне.
Дождевальная технология облегчает ручной труд фермера и улучшет процес фотосинтеза путем смывания с листьев пыля за счет этого рост и развитие растении цитрусовых культур.
Технология заключается в том, что в некоторые годы зима очень засушливая. Для посадки саженцев почва не готова, по этому после разбивки участка надо копать лунки и заполнять их водой каждую. Через пару дней почва хорошо впитывает воду и уже можно сажать саженцев
В технологии приводится описание виноградников на воише: как кусты формировать, и устройство шпалеры, тип обрезки, схема посадки и Агро уход.
В технологии приводятся данные по эффективному использованию земель под сады путем посадки на 1 га 2083 -2500 шт. саженцев по схеме 4,0 х 1,2м. 4,0 х 1.0 м. и получить от 30 до 40 тонн урожая с сохраняя экосистемы. Технология применялась в фермерском хозяйстве «Асадулло» на площади более 150 га. Природные условия богарные и поливные под капельным орошением сады и виноградники. Землепользователи занимаются в основном садоводствам и виноградарством, от которых получают хорошие доходы.
Промывка вторично сильно засолившихся орошаемых земель, дренажными водами ,с целью восстановления их плодородия , проводится в зимне–ранне-весенний период, в отсутствие пресной воды в оросительных каналах . При этом происходит более эффективное вторичное использованию сбросной дренажной воды . И сразу же после промывки, эти бывшие пустующие земли, можно использовать для выращивания сельскохозяйственных культур
Private herding of 50 goats by the land user and his sons.
Совместные посевы зерновых и бобовых культур- традиционная древняя технология высокогорного аридного малоземельного Памира.
Sustainable livestock and pasture management is implemented through creating Pasture Users Unions (PUU) which design and implement pasture and livestock management plans.
Drought-resistant fruit seedlings are being produced by vulnerable, women-led households in backyard nurseries. These will be planted out in agroforestry plots within the dry agrolandscapes of Southern Tajikistan.
This energy-efficient stove was developed in close cooperation with the local blacksmith and pilot households. Its major features are a shorter burning chamber, lower height, air draft controller, enlarged burners and double circled pipes for heating water. The modified stove consumes much less firewood. It is possible to add heat exchangers and water boiling tank/water radiators which will further increase efficiency.
Promotion of low-pressure drip irrigation kits among vulnerable women-led households in dry agrolandscapes of Southern Tajikistan has helped to fight desertification, improve food security and enhance economic opportunities.
Enhancement of existing self developed SLM technologies into demonstration sites.
Technical advisory groups working on a 'fee for service' basis provide an effective service to farmers to achieve measurable yield increases, based on regular crop monitoring, crop management advice and effective use of inputs (fertilisers, water, pesticides, etc.)
Mechanisms to facilitate participatory decision-making about grant allocation among land users and improve transparency and accountability in flow of funds to beneficiaries in small-grant programmes for SLM.
Provision of small scale loans for private households to ensure access to thermal insulation (in the frame of CACILM).
Reforestation of deserted state forest plots through a financial incentive system for the labour intensive first years of forest establishment, after which harvests of forest products from the plot provide income opportunities for the forest tenants and the State Forestry Agency (in the frame of CACILM).
The development of a women's network to disseminate information, provide training, and provide support to other women in the community to help them improve their livelihoods, and provide a forum by which women's issues can be raised at a local level.
Initiation of community-based solutions to slow down pasture degradation, and to improve pasture use and management in three pilot Jamoats of upland Tajikistan.
The Seed Association was established with the aims of improving the living conditions, food security, land management and crop rotation systems in irrigated and rain fed areas. The Seed association in Muminabad is registered at a district level and coordinates the activities of the farmers and members.
Livestock committees were established with the goal to improve livestock health as well as natural resource management in the watersheds where the village pastures were situated. Livestock committees in the Muminabad district are organised at village level and coordinate their activities through the registered livestock association at district level.
The use of the government appointed District Womens Affair Officer to mobilise women throughout the community to implement technologies.
A competitive tendering process for project grant money to implement identified SLM practices within a community, and on completion of the implementation activities the village school will be assigned ownership and responsibility for the maintenance and sustainability.
