┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ HOW TO WRITE A GREENZONE "INSIGHTS" BLOG POST │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

1. Make a COPY of this file.

2. RENAME the copy to a short "slug" — lowercase words joined by dashes,
ending in .md. For example:
winter-dzud-2026.md → the post will be at /insights/winter-dzud-2026

3. Fill in the fields between the two "---" lines below (this is the
"front matter"). Keep the field names exactly as they are.
title – the headline
author – who wrote it
date – publish date, format YYYY-MM-DD (e.g. 2026-06-01)
thumbnail – the card/header image (see step 5). Optional.
linkedin – link to the original LinkedIn post. Optional.
excerpt – 1–2 sentence summary shown on the card. Optional —
if omitted, the first paragraph is used.

4. WRITE THE POST below the second "---" line using normal Markdown:
• Leave a BLANK LINE between paragraphs.
• **bold**, *italics*, [link text](https://example.com)
• Bullet list: start lines with "- "
• Subheading: start a line with "## "

5. IMAGES: put image files in frontend/public/insights/ and reference them
as /insights/your-image.jpg (works for `thumbnail` and inside the body).

6. Send the finished .md file back. It gets dropped into
frontend/content/insights/
and the post publishes automatically (newest date first).

BILINGUAL (optional): to publish a Mongolian version of a post, add a second
file with the SAME name plus ".mn" — e.g. winter-dzud-2026.mn.md — with the
Mongolian title/excerpt in its front matter and the Mongolian text in the
body. It is shown when the site's language toggle is set to MN; otherwise the
English (.md) file is used. (Date, author, thumbnail and linkedin are taken
from the English file, so you don't need to repeat them.)

This file (named "_TEMPLATE.md") is IGNORED by the site because its name
starts with "_", so you can leave these notes here in the template.

title: Your post title here
author: Author Name
date: 2026-06-01
thumbnail: /insights/your-thumbnail.jpg
linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/your-post-url
excerpt: One or two sentences shown on the card. Optional.
---

Write your opening paragraph here. Leave a blank line between paragraphs so
each one renders separately.

You can use **bold text**, *italics*, and [links](https://example.com). To make
a list:

- First point
- Second point
- Third point

## A subheading

Continue the post here. Add as many paragraphs, lists, and subheadings as you
like.

title: 'What "carrying capacity" actually means for herders'
author: GreenZone Team
date: 2026-04-08

linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/greenzone/
excerpt: Carrying capacity sounds abstract — here's how we translate it into a number you can act on, soum by soum.
---

Carrying capacity is the number of livestock a piece of land can support without degrading. Push past it for too long and the rangeland's ability to recover starts to erode — the core driver of desertification across the steppe.

GreenZone estimates carrying capacity from predicted plant biomass and converts it into familiar units, then compares it against actual livestock numbers. The result is a simple status for each area: **below**, **at**, or **above** what the land can sustain.

On the platform, those statuses become the colored cells you see on the map. Green means there's headroom; red means grazing pressure has crossed the line. Our goal is to make that distinction visible early enough to do something about it.

title: Reading Mongolia's rangelands from space
author: GreenZone Team

linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/greenzone/
excerpt: How we combine satellite vegetation indices, climate data, and herder knowledge to map where grazing pressure is building.
---

Every spring, herders across Mongolia ask the same question: will there be enough grass this year? GreenZone was built to help answer it earlier and with more confidence, by turning decades of satellite imagery into a picture of rangeland health that updates year after year.

Our models look at vegetation indices like **NDVI** alongside precipitation, temperature, snow cover, and soil characteristics. Where the signal points to vegetation falling short of what the land can normally support, we flag it — long before the shortfall becomes visible on the ground.

This is the first in a series where we'll share:

- what the data is telling us about this season,
- how the models turn raw satellite pixels into rangeland health, and
- what it means for carrying capacity and degradation risk across the country's soums.

title: Монголын бэлчээрийг сансраас харах нь
excerpt: Хиймэл дагуулын ургамлын индекс, цаг уурын мэдээлэл, малчдын мэдлэгийг хослуулан бэлчээрийн ачаалал нэмэгдэж буй газрыг хэрхэн зурагладаг тухай.
---

Хавар бүр Монголын малчид нэг асуултыг тавьдаг: энэ жил хангалттай өвс ургах болов уу? GreenZone нь олон жилийн хиймэл дагуулын мэдээллийг ашиглан бэлчээрийн эрүүл мэндийн дүр зургийг жил бүр шинэчилж, энэ асуултад эрт бөгөөд илүү итгэлтэйгээр хариулахад тусална.

Бидний загвар нь **NDVI** зэрэг ургамлын индексийг хур тунадас, температур, цасан бүрхүүл, хөрсний шинж чанартай хослуулан судалдаг. Ургамлын байдал тухайн нутгийн даах чадвараас доогуур байх дохио илэрвэл бид түүнийг газар дээр нь харагдахаас өмнө тэмдэглэдэг.

Энэ бол цуврал нийтлэлийн эхнийх. Бид дараах зүйлийг хуваалцана:

- энэ улирлын талаар мэдээлэл бидэнд юу хэлж байгаа,
- загвар хиймэл дагуулын мэдээллийг хэрхэн бэлчээрийн эрүүл мэнд болгон хувиргадаг,
- сум бүрийн даах чадвар болон доройтлын эрсдэлд юу нөлөөлдөг тухай.

> Энэ бол байршлыг харуулах загвар нийтлэл юм. Жинхэнэ LinkedIn нийтлэлээрээ солино уу.
