Summary
The Grazing4AgroEcology project provides various materials in the form of abstracts and videos presenting a series of best practices of farms across Europe trying out innovative measures. Country specific best practices are presented for France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Romania and Sweden.
| EPrint Type: | Practice tool |
|---|---|
| Teaser: | Practical solutions for sustainable, integrated grazing-based animal production systems. |
| What problem does the tool address?: | Grazing-based production systems have the potential to produce high-quality feed, to be beneficial to the competitiveness of farmers and animal welfare, as well as for other ecosystem services that are widely appreciated by society. However, for many reasons grazing is generally declining in Europe, which is a threat to many ecosystem services. |
| What solution does the tool offer?: | In Grazing4AgroEcology (G4AE), grazing farmers are for the first time at the centre of a thematic network in providing solutions for sustainable, integrated grazing-based animal production systems. The Partner Farm Network of G4AE of 120 Partner farms (15 per country) will enable the capture and implementation of best practices and innovations to promote grazing for agroecology. |
