Alaa Alwan Mohammed
Syria

Mohammed Khalid is a young shepherd who has learned this lifestyle from his father, despite his young age. Picking up the craft from his father, who has been a shepherd throughout his life and is very knowledgeable, Mohammed is filled with passion, drive, and the desire to be creative and innovate in the sector. Generally, to be successful in growing a herd, you require experience and knowledge. Mohammed has access to these traits because of his father, while he carries the passion to bring innovation to raising livestock.


Being a shepherd and raising animals is about more than just food. Almost everything from these animals has uses in a conventional market. Focusing on raising them in plains and fields in a healthy manner creates better, healthier meat for consumption. However, according to Mohammed, it seems to be harder in the present, as greenery is shrinking and rainfall is less and more unpredictable. Despite his access to his father’s knowledge and experience, such challenges will need Mohammed’s understanding to overcome. This is a challenge that completely falls on the new generation to carry.
