Seasonality constraints to livestock grazing intensity.
Increasing food production is essential to meet the future food demand of a growing world population. In light of pressing sustainability challenges such as climate change and the importance of the global livestock system for food security as well as GHG emissions, finding ways to increasing food production sustainably and without increasing competition for food crops is essential. Yet, many un...
متن کاملMixed Grazing Systems Benefit both Upland Biodiversity and Livestock Production
BACKGROUND With world food demand expected to double by 2050, identifying farming systems that benefit both agricultural production and biodiversity is a fundamentally important challenge for the 21(st) century, but this has to be achieved in a sustainable way. Livestock grazing management directly influences both economic outputs and biodiversity on upland farms while contributing to potential...

Livestock straight-breeding system structures for the sustainable intensification of extensive grazing systems
ICAR Technical Series No 3 Animal breeding aims for genetic improvement of livestock by utilising the genetic variation available, both within breeds and between breeds. The animal genetic variation can be used to accommodate interests and farmers’ wishes to make livestock more efficient in using available resources to produce human food and other agricultural products. In general, improved per...
متن کاملIs breeding of farmland wading birds depressed by a combination of predator abundance and grazing?
Agri-environment schemes have been implemented across Europe to counter biodiversity loss in agricultural landscapes and halt the continual decline of farmland birds, including waders. Such schemes provide financial compensation for changes in agricultural practice, including livestock grazing regimes. Scheme uptake has been variable, partly because farmers believe that other factors, notably p...
