Could be located at high altitudes where the growing season is short. Could be so far removed from markets that getting the goods to these places would be unprofitable. Nomads move with their families and herds of animals to places which have more food and water available throughout the year. Nomadic herding is usually practiced in the deserts, steppes, and savannas of. Africa, arabia, the interior of eurasia, and very cold areas in former soviet union countries. A rational and sustainable way to use arid lands. Not many people live this way anymore.
