...some background information about SAEL, as described by ADRA-Mongolia, the NGO facilitating the project:
This
project proposes an integrated approach to establish food security in
one of the poorest and most remote urban capitals in the country, Bayan
Ulgii Province. Mongolia has an extreme continental climate, with
temperatures ranging across the country from minus 45C in winter to
plus 45C in summer. The summer growing period is very short (90 to 120
days for unprotected crops).
Traditionally
Mongolians have relied on livestock-based agriculture. During the
transition from collective socialism to a market economy in the 1990s
the agriculture and food industry virtually collapsed. This challenge
was exacerbated by three consecutive winter disasters (dzuds) in 1999,
2000 and 2001, when 7.6 million animals (one third of the national
herd) died.
