Pasture condition

Assessing pasture condition can point the way to significant opportunities in the interaction between plants and livestock – to grow more and graze more, and build a more resilient grazing system.
​

We've developed a pasture condition scoring tool that  provides a simple means of comparing and critically assessing pastures and their capabilities. The focus here is low-rainfall, dryland, permanent, improved pastures. However, the principles of our assessment are adaptable to most pasture types.
