Read the latest news regarding Permanent Grasslands Co-innovative workshops organised by Mendel University Last year, Mendel University celebrated 100 years. In its anniversary programme were included three co-innovative workshops testing different Innovative approaches & Technologies. Greenhouse gas budgets of permanent grasslands Greenhouse gas emissions (i.e. carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide) from agriculture are important due to their impact on climate change. Permanent grasslands can act as a carbon sink, but they can also be an important source of greenhouse gases due to livestock and fertilization. SUPER-G members from ETH Zurich, Switzerland, measure greenhouse gas emissions Seminar: “How to manage grass to get the most out of it? – innovation in PG management” | Poland On February 7th the Polish Society for Agronomy organized a seminar entitled “How to manage grass to get the most out of it? – innovation in PG management” with the Pasture to Profit Consultant Sean Chubb from LIC (Livestock improvement), New Zeeland. During this seminar, participants discussed the possibilities of using pastures as an important, Permanent grassland: pilot farms involved in the European SUPER-G project are all set to optimise their production systems! After two meetings in 2019, the SUPER-G farm network in Normandy has set its work priorities for the next 4 years. 2nd SUPER-G stakeholder Seminar The second SUPER-G stakeholder seminar will be held in April 2020, in Poland. This second seminar aims to cover the continental region. International Symposium on Climate-Resilient Agri-Environmental Systems (IS-CRAES) The International Symposium on Climate-Resilient Agri-Environmental Systems (IS-CRAES) organized by the Climate-Resilient Agri-Environmental Systems IPCC Climate Change and Land Report An IPCC special report on climate change, desertification, land degradation, food security, sustainable land management and greenhouse gas fluxes Agroforestry training event – September 5th AFBI and CAFRE hosted an agroforestry training event on 5th September 2019 in AFBI Loughgall, Co. Armagh. The event, according to the article, have provided farmers and agroforestry practitioners with the opportunity to learn more about the practicalities as well as the socio-economic and environmental benefits of adopting agroforestry systems as an option under the Strategies for managing Permanent Pasture On an EIP-AGRI brochure related to the sustainable livestock farming, the importance of a strategy for managing permanent pasture was highlighted. Permanent Grasslands represent several benefits for biodiversity, ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration and animal health. Profitability of Permanent Grassland (EIP-AGRI) The final report of the EIP-AGRI Focus Group – “Profitability of Permanent Grassland” – addressed the challenge of evaluating the current situation of permanent grassland and identified approaches and future research actions to increase their productivity in a sustainable way.
