Objective
The objective is to provide a sound scientific basis for the use of legume based swards in low input, environmentally sustainable grazing systems as an alternative to the use of heavily nitrogen fertilised grass swards. Integrated investigations in four countries will comprise the following work packages:
1. Compilation of database of research information on legume based grazing systems;
2. Measurement of agronomic performance in contrasting legume based grazing systems;
3. Measurement of animal production in contrasting legume based grazing systems
4. Measurement of nutrient losses to the environment from legume based grazing systems.
5. Evaluation of the socio-economic impact of the adoption of legume based grazing systems in the EU. The results will be widely disseminated to the farming community ensuring rapid uptake of technology.
