The article discusses the prospects for the development of organic horse breeding in Yakutia. The potential of Yakutia in the development of organic animal husbandry is justified by the presence of a huge territory with a favorable environmental situation, the presence of vast areas remote from industrial centers that meet the concept of eco-products. It is noted that Yakut traditional animal husbandry, especially herd horse breeding, is suitable for organic animal husbandry, due to the fact that the requirements are ideally met. Organic animal husbandry requires keeping animals in the most environmentally friendly conditions, where there is no environmental pollution. in the natural way of life to which animals are adapted, where the traditional management system adheres, where animals are adapted to local conditions, emphasis should be placed on the use of organic feeds, which should be natural, nutritious and provide animals with normal physiology and metabolism, should not contain harmful substances, purebred animals without crossbreeds are welcome, that is, local breeds with high resistance to adverse maintenance factors. It is noted that the Yakut horse breeding, with a special technology of maintenance and feeding, provides environmentally friendly dietary, delicatessen products (foal, internal fat, blood, etc.), which has the prospect of being an export product.

Multipurpose trees, like the moringa (Moringa oleifera Lam.), have become extremely popular in an attempt to reduce food, nutritional, and economic instability. The significant benefits of moringa’s leaves, pods, seeds, roots, and flowers are used in a wide range of commercial fields, including medicine, cosmetics, food, animal feed, water purification, and more. We applied a questionnaire-based survey to reveal the uses, problems and solutions related to the knowledge, uses and constraints of moringa in the region of Chapainawabganj and Kushtia districts in Bangladesh. Including the easiest propagation process and the lowest cultivation costs, year-round flowering, and production provide moringa with a wide window of opportunity. Besides using regular pruning of moringa branches, respondents make trees bushy to increase fruit and leaf production. Respondents from both regions opined that moringa has a good market value, increases family income, increases opportunity for fallow land utilization, enhances employment opportunities, and is known as a nutritive and multipurpose tree. We were pleased to find that moringa output regularly exceeded previous production records in Bangladesh from 2014–16 to 2020–21. Furthermore, our survey shows that a 5-year-old moringa tree provides a satisfactory yield per season with its high market price and demand. Despite the extensive use of moringa fruits and leaves by respondents, its commercial potential remains largely undeveloped and unknown to them. Constraints like limited scientific knowledge and technological infrastructure are the reasons why the elusive potential of moringa in Bangladesh persists. There is ample opportunity to enhance moringa production via effective management techniques, which will satisfy community demand and create market opportunities both locally and internationally. As a result, smallholder farmers’ livelihoods and food and nutritional security can be improved.
