ranching and land use

Ranching involves raising grazing animals like cattle or sheep on large land areas, primarily for meat, dairy, or fiber production. Land use in ranching includes managing grasslands and pastures to support the health of the animals and maintain the ecosystem. This often involves practices such as grazing management, land restoration, and sometimes supplemental feeding. Effective land use balances agricultural productivity with environmental sustainability, ensuring that the land remains productive for future generations while providing resources for human needs. Ranching and land use are interconnected, requiring careful stewardship to preserve land health and economic viability.
