This book was released on 2005 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together information on the contrasting characteristics, condition, present use and problems of the world's main natural grasslands. Since grassland is commercialized through the grazing animal, particular attention is paid to the livestock production systems associated with each main type. Grazing resources are more than simply edible herbage: many other factors have to be taken into account, notably water in all areas, and shelter in winter-cold climates. Seasonality of forage supply is a characteristic of almost all grazing lands, so the strategies for dealing with lean seasons are described. The main problems of each type are mentioned and possible strategies for their sustainable management discussed - taking into account their multiple functions, not only livestock production. The book is primarily aimed at agricultural scientists, educationalists, extensionists and decision-makers with interests in responsible use of extensive grasslands.

Book excerpt: Grassland: Quietness and Strength for a New American Agriculture takes on the task of increasing our awareness of the vital role grass and grassland plants have in ensuring a sustainable future for America. Geared toward agriculturists, students, the public, and policymakers, Grassland aims to inspire and provide the reader the foundation needed to move into the future. Three main sections * track the history of grassland farming, highlighting the voices of grassland advocates * examine the current roles that grassland plays throughout the United States * look at the benefits grass-based agriculture can provide when grass is treated as an essential resource As Wendell Berry so eloquently argues in the foreword to Grassland, True farmers have minds that are complex and responsible...They understand and honor their debts to nature. They understand and honor their obligations to neighbors and consumers...In the time that is coming, we are going to need many more such farmers than we have, and we will need them much sooner than we can expect to get them.We will get them only to the extent that young people come along who are willing to fit their farming to the nature of their farms and their home landscapes, and who recognize the paramount importance of grass and grazing animals to good farming everywhere. This book will help that happen.

This book was released on 1997-01-17 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Contribution of Managed Grasslands to Sustainable Agriculture in the Great Lakes Basin explores the many benefits of perennial forages on contemporary farming and shows how pasture, or “grass,” is the central, sustaining element in whole farm resource management. The book challenges the narrow view of the 1950s that grass could be replaced with resource-intensive specialized technologies for crop and livestock production and presents a more holistic, less capital- and resource-intensive approach to livestock management. Readers increase their awareness of the environmental ramifications of continuous annual cropping in support of high-density confinement feeding systems as they focus their attention on grass-based livestock farming as a more sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative. The Contribution of Managed Grasslands to Sustainable Agriculture in the Great Lakes Basin presents helpful information to agriculturalists working in the fields of crop and animal sciences, resource management, agronomy, agricultural economics, and sustainable agriculture. The book is equally valuable to environmentalists interested in agroecology, biotic diversity, and holistic ecology. Specific topics readers explore include: the multiple roles of managed grasslands, both as a source of ruminant nutrition and as a complement to arable cropping the environmental and economic forces which have altered the prominence of managed grasslands in North America soil, nutrient, and water conservation with managed grasslands a basic introduction to plant/animal systems an historical perspective on pasture investigation in Ontario The Contribution of Managed Grasslands to Sustainable Agriculture in the Great Lakes Basin bridges the gap between livestock agriculturists and environmentalists. After all, perennial forages are an essential and irreplaceable tool for soil, water, and air resource management, and livestock agriculture (especially ruminant agriculture) provides the economic rationale for growing these forages. Equally important is the book's approach to specific obstacles, such as the lack of direct information from predecessors working in the same field and unsupportive funding sources and policies based on the archaic notion that pasture is an outdated technology. Overall, this book underscores the critical relevance of managed grasslands to the sustainability of agriculture as a whole and serves as a guide to the types of grassland research and to the rationale for changes of the focus of the research over the decades. Especially important for researchers in this field, The Contribution of Managed Grasslands to Sustainable Agriculture in the Great Lakes Basin helps identify useful background information and suggests promising new directions for future research.
