Creating tracks and cow tunnel to graze more: Context profile

Simplifying grazing management through optimized parcel organization in EU-funded French agriculture

or

Detail description

This document presents a cost-benefit analysis of an EU-funded agroecological farming system in France, focusing on reduced input use, improved grazing efficiency, and long-term sustainability. Key elements include low ongoing costs, high reductions in energy and chemical inputs, near-zero payback period, and benefits in soil regeneration, biodiversity, and animal health. The project emphasizes workload reduction and practical land management strategies, supported by infrastructure like cow tunnels and track systems. A complementary guide, "Organisez votre parcellaire, simplifiez-vous le pâturage," offers parcel management techniques for simplified grazing. The analysis highlights transferability across climatic zones and potential agroecological subsidies.
