Integrating arable land into grazing | Walter Starz #82

How can arable land be used optimally for grazing and what needs to be taken into account?

The regulations for organic farming stipulate that arable land can also be used as pasture for ruminants. Since organic farms rely on forage crops or clover grass as part of their crop rotation, this crop rotation element can be easily integrated into grazing.

This podcast explores the various options and strategies for effectively cultivating and utilizing pasture mixtures on arable land. Dr. Andreas Steinwidder is joined by Dr. Walter Starz from our Institute of Organic Agriculture, and they discuss numerous topics related to the possibilities of using arable land for pasture – sowing, undersowing, maintenance measures, and many practical tips are just some of the topics covered.
