Answer 2

Nomadic Herding

• In the semi-arid and arid (dry) regions of the Sahara, Central Asia, and some portions of India, such as Rajasthan and Jammu and Kashmir, nomadic herding is practiced.
• Herdsmen migrate from place to place with their animals for feed and water along a predetermined route in nomadic farming. Due to the constraints of climate and terrain, nomads wander from place to place.
• The most frequent livestock raised by nomads is sheep, camels, yaks, and goats. The herders and their families benefit from the milk, meat, wool, skins, and other items provided by these animals.
• Most rural inhabitants in Asia's drier regions, like semi-arid and arid regions of Rajasthan, make a living by raising cattle. Many are nomads who travel across wide areas with their herds of animals in search of good resources.
