How it works
Organizes the access of livestock to avoid overgrazing and allow recovery of vegetation.
A farm can reduce losses and pressures on soil, water and climate through coordinated decisions on facilities, animals, people and inputs.
When does it make sense?
- The holding can identify its starting position
- Responsible for implementing and maintaining the measure
- Its impact on well-being, resources and viability is verified
How to apply it
- 1
Delimit the measurement and measure the starting position.
- 2
Apply the measure with competent personnel and check for site-specific risks.
- 3
Follow results, maintain the solution and correct unwanted effects.
Potential benefits
Lower pressure on resources
Better operation continuity
Less avoidable losses
Limitations and precautions
- Rotations do not guarantee improvements if the total load remains excessive.
- Results depend on climate, size, handling and supply chains.
- The health and well-being of people and animals must be maintained.
