| Description: | Change in grazing intensity, usually more intensive. This would require better management of grasslands, including for example the use of grass-clover mixtures and fertilisers, bringing the length of the grazing season in tune with the period of grass production, and rotations. |
| Is implemented in: | Land-use allocation |
| Associated theme items: | Agricultural land use (Land use), Land use system (Land use), Natural vegetation (Land use), Animal husbandry (Food) |
Associated policy response component
Component: Land and biodiversity policies
Page: Land and biodiversity policies/Agricultural production system
Effects of this policy intervention on components
Component: Land-use allocation
Effect : More intensive grassland management decrease the area needed for grassland, while producing the same amount of grass and/or feeding the same size of livestock.
Component: Livestock systems
Effect : Increasing grazing intensity has no consequences for the livestock if not combined with introduction of better breeds
Component: Terrestrial biodiversity
Effect : Effects biodiversity in two ways: less grazing areas decrease the impact on habitats, while more intensive management or increased grazing intensity icnreases the pressures on biodiversity of the remaining areas.
