Former Rugby player David Pocock talks about sustainable ways of managing land as part of the solution for the climate crisis and the loss of biodiversity.
Pasture-cropping is designed to regenerate the soil beneath established pastures. Texas A&M AgriLife-led research to analyze effectiveness and economics of pasture cropping.
Adopting the ecologically sensitive, low-cost conservation management pasture-cropping practice could help landowners regain the health and resiliency of soils sustaining degradation over the years.
Pasture cropping, a relatively new and innovative land management system, integrates direct seeding of cool-season annual crops into dormant perennial warm-season grasses. It was pioneered by Colin Seis, an Australian farmer.
Now the potential for implementation of the practice in the Southern Great Plains is being investigated by a Texas A&M AgriLife-led team of researchers through the U.S. Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture, NIFA, grant-funded project “Enhancing Soil Ecosystem Health and Resilience Through Pasture Cropping.”
