High-density grazing systems may double grass production and improve farm circularity
Grass production can be doubled with high-density grazing. Seventy small-scale and commercial farms in South Africa were interviewed about nutrient circulation. Farmers were asked about circular practices, focusing on how high-density grazing can increase feed production, enhance manure recycling, and improve animal health. High-density grazing involves livestock grazing closely together on a smaller area […]
Increased and improved use of pastoral land can promote a more sustainable meat production
Evaluating local foraging resources in Italy using remote sensing and productivity modelling. In the Italian Alps, the use of mountain pastures and traditional pastoral methods is on the decline. Researchers at the University of Milan are studying traditional alpine pastoralism and investigating circularity in this system. Machine learning classification techniques combine information from optical and […]
