Qiemo County in Xinjiang, China, is promoting low-cost standardized animal husbandry, encouraging herdsmen to reuse resources and reduce construction costs. The county has built 19 breeding communities and about 4,500 low-cost cattle and sheep pens, saving over 43.6 million yuan. The county also plans to build 41 more breeding communities. Meanwhile, local farmers like Aisa are moving towards organic farming of red dates, which fetches twice the price of ordinary red dates after certification. Aisa, who achieved poverty alleviation in 2017, made over 6,000 yuan last year by selling red dates and expects higher earnings once the dates are certified organic.
