Description
This project aims to scope opportunities to assess the potential of improved forages to offer livestock-related benefits such as enhancements to farm productivity, agricultural sustainability (including reduced greenhouse gas emissions), and resilience to climate change to account for the future needs of ruminant agriculture in the UK. The project will set out these opportunities and put forward potential opportunities considered and calculated for particular forage species, bringing together academics and industry to inform pertinent considerations. Key relevant options, considerations and barriers should be duly evaluated.
