Overview
This woreda is divided into two agro-ecological zones, locally called badda-daree, or mid-land, which comprises 40% of the total area and has an altitude ranging between 1500 and 2604 meters above sea level, and gammojjii, or low-lands, which comprises 60% and has an altitude between 1000 and 2500 meters; the badda-daree zone is much cooler and receives more rainfall than the gammojjii. The cultivated area covers 40.8% of the woreda (of which 32.7% of the total area is planted in annual crops), while 36.1% is pasture, 1.3% forest, 9% shrubland, 8.8% degraded on non-arable land, 2% is covered by bodies of water, and all other categories of land makes up the remaining 2%.
In 1999, 55 kilometers of gravel road were built in Ginde Beret by students, farmers and civil servants from the area.
