The purpose of this study is to explore the concept,theoretical root and implementation effects of multi - household grazing model on grassland degradation management. In view of the problems existing in the current grassland management model,the feasibility suggestions for future grassland management policies are put forward. The results show that,in the face of the grassland degradation,the grassland management policies adopted by our gov- ernment in succession have not completely suppressed the trend of the grassland degradation. The multi- household grazing mode provides an innovative way to curb grassland degradation and a practical perspective to realize high-qual- ity grassland development. As a new model of local governance in pastoral areas,the combined family grazing model can overcome the defects of grassland management policies to a certain extent,but it still lacks the protection of na- tional policies and the support of the government. Therefore,four directions should be considered during the design process of future grassland management systems,(1) the application of local knowledge;(2) the cultivation of new professional herders;(3) the content design based on natural solutions;and (4) the scientific nature of fence disman- tling and construction
