Univ. Prof. Dr. Friedhelm Taube on the future of permanent grassland, conflicting objectives in agriculture and new perspectives for grassland milk and grassland meat:
Permanent grassland is among the most valuable resources in agriculture – for forage production, soil conservation, biodiversity, and climate protection. At the same time, many grassland systems are increasingly under pressure: intensification, structural change, declining livestock numbers, and climate change are drastically altering their use.
In this episode of Agrar Science – Wissen kompakt speaks Steinwidder with Univ.-Prof. aD Dr. Friedhelm Taube from the University of Kiel about his recently written study “Making permanent grassland valuable for food production, nature and climate protection”.
The conversation will cover topics including:
- the future of grassland management,
- Conflicting goals between production and biodiversity,
- new concepts such as “grassland milk” and “grassland meat”,
- the role of pasture grazing and clover grass,
- as well as the question of how agriculture and climate protection can be better integrated in the future.
An exciting podcast for anyone interested in grassland, animal husbandry, climate protection, cultural landscapes, and the future of agriculture and regional food production.
