TAJIKISTAN, 2025. Sheep on the plains

May, 2025. Ghorquruq Plain, Almosi Valley, Hisor. Gissar sheep on a pasture on the Gorkuruk plain.

This integrated agropastoral system in Tajikistan’s Almosi Valley combines seasonal transhumance of sheep with the cultivation of grapes, cereals, orchards, and vegetables across harsh mountain landscapes. Shaped over centuries, it supports food and livelihood security, conserves agrobiodiversity, and preserves cultural heritage. Rooted in ancestral knowledge, it sustains resilient communities facing soil erosion, water scarcity, and climate variability.
