Why can pastoral movement be called a production system?

Correct answer: Because movement gave fodder to livestock and continued products like milk wool and manure

The direct answer is A: movement gave fodder to livestock and allowed milk, wool, manure and other useful products to continue. Pastoral movement was not aimless travel; it was a planned way of producing a livelihood from animals. First, grass and water are not available equally everywhere. Second, herders moved animals to places where fresh pasture was available. Third, healthy animals gave milk, wool, meat, dung and transport or labour. Thus movement itself supported production. A is correct because it connects travel, fodder and products. B is wrong because the movement was not sightseeing. C is wrong because herding required constant labour: guiding animals, finding pasture, protecting them and processing products. D is wrong because animals were the main means of production. The useful chain is pasture, healthy livestock, animal products and livelihood. Remember: pastoral mobility was a moving production system, not a holiday journey.
