Mongolian agriculture primarily consists of livestock herding and crop production. The vast steppe landscape supports the raising of animals such as sheep, goats, cattle, and horses, which are essential for the nomadic lifestyle of many Mongolians. Livestock provides meat, milk, and wool, contributing significantly to the economy. Crop farming is less common due to the harsh climate and limited arable land. However, some regions cultivate barley, wheat, and potatoes. Agricultural practices are often traditional, with many farmers using methods passed down through generations, adapting to the challenges posed by the environment.
