Core Viewpoint - The project for the construction of high-yield, high-quality, water-saving perennial artificial grassland has officially started, aiming to address the degradation of grasslands in northern China and enhance the ecological and economic value of sheep grass [1][2]. Group 1: Project Overview - The project is initiated in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, focusing on the restoration of degraded grasslands, which constitute 70% of the total grassland area in China [1]. - The project will scientifically plant perennial sheep grass on 4,779 acres of natural grassland, aiming to explore the synergy between ecological restoration and high-quality livestock development [1][2]. Group 2: Ecological and Economic Benefits - The selection of sheep grass is based on its ecological benefits, such as reducing surface sand transport by 78% and providing high-quality forage with crude protein content of 11%-15% [2]. - The project anticipates a 40% increase in vegetation coverage and a 60% improvement in windbreak and sand fixation efficiency within three years, contributing to the ecological stability of the Hohhot grassland [3]. Group 3: Financial Projections - By the fifth year, the profit per acre from the commodity grassland is expected to reach 175 yuan, while the seed production area could yield profits exceeding 600 yuan per acre, with total annual revenue from the project area projected to exceed 3 million yuan [3]. - The project is expected to increase operational revenue by 15%-20%, addressing the shortage of high-quality sheep grass seed sources in China [3].
