Characteristics of subsistence nomadic pastoralism and commercial sedentary pastoralism

The characteristics of the two are as follows:

1. The traditional subsistence nomadic pastoral economy has less impact on the environment, mainly due to the small scale and decentralized nature of its operations, coupled with seasonal nomadism, which is conducive to the recovery and growth of pasture.

2. Commercial sedentary pastoralism, with a single breed of livestock and an expanded scale of operation, increases the pressure on the pasture, which may lead to degradation of the pasture, and can lead to the intensification of desertification.
