Grazing practices
Grazing practices refer to how livestock, like cattle or sheep, are allowed to feed on land. Sustainable practices involve managing the timing, intensity, and location of grazing to protect soil health, prevent overuse, and promote healthy plant growth. Proper techniques such as rotational grazing—moving animals between pastures—help maintain a balance between animal needs and land preservation. Good grazing practices ensure the land remains productive for future use, supports biodiversity, and reduces environmental impacts like erosion or water pollution. Overall, they aim to optimize the health of both the animals and the land they feed on.
