pasture-based farming

Pasture-based farming is a method where livestock such as cows, sheep, or goats graze on naturally growing grasses and plants in open fields. This approach emphasizes animals eating from pastureland rather than being confined indoors or fed processed feeds. It promotes animal health, supports sustainable land use, and often results in meat, milk, or wool products that are considered more natural and environmentally friendly. Pasture-based systems rely on the land’s natural resources, helping maintain biodiversity and improve soil quality, while also providing a more humane environment for the animals.
