Connected plate meter and decision support tool for precise grazing management

Efficient grazing management system with EU-funded transition support in France

or

Detail description

The document details an EU-funded agricultural transition system promoting precise grazing management through a connected plate meter and decision support tool. It outlines low initial and ongoing costs, with high economic returns from reduced energy and input use, increased product value, and potential agroecological payments. Environmental benefits include improved nitrogen cycling, soil regeneration, and animal welfare, alongside moderate biodiversity gains. Social benefits feature significant workload reduction and moderate youth engagement. Sources include a French pasture management guide and an English academic paper on grassland systems.
