Defra awarded a contract to RSK ADAS Limited for a study on the impacts of mob grazing on soil health.

The project aimed to develop a system to characterise and describe the range of farming practices referred to as mob grazing, and to compare them with conventional grazing practices, with particular reference to the length of grazing period, the length of rest periods between grazing, and typical grazing intensity whilst grazing, to allow comparisons of the impacts of different grazing systems on soil health in UK agriculture.

The contract value was £49,992.
