Two presentations [from Agroecology-TRANSECT] explore how grassland-based ruminant farming benefits society by providing important ecosystem services.
Prof Sebastian Lakner from University of Rostock asks why we need grazing ruminants to enhance biodiversity and landscape and makes the case for rejuvenating Germany’s extensive grassland.
Bertrand Dumont, senior researcher at INRAE, looks at how varying stocking rates on cattle farms impacts production, climate resilience and biodiversity.
