Draft law 'On Pastures' proposes permitting ecotourism and beekeeping on rangelands

The document proposes allowing new types of activities on pastures. Among them are ecotourism, beekeeping, and the cultivation of medicinal plants. The draft law also proposes introducing new norms and standards for the use of pastures and dividing them into categories.

For households, it is planned to establish an institution of public pastures so that residents can use them legally and conveniently. In addition, the document provides for launching the "E-yaylov" electronic platform designed for the digital inventory of pastures, as well as continuous monitoring of their condition and oversight.

During monitoring, it is planned to use artificial intelligence, geoinformation technologies, and satellite data. As the report states, this will make it possible to better assess the condition of pastures, detect signs of degradation in time, and determine measures to counter it.

During the discussion, members of the faction noted that the proposed norms are important for combating pasture degradation, preserving soil and vegetation, protecting biodiversity, and strengthening the fodder base for livestock farming. According to them, this corresponds to the programmatic objectives of the party.
