Quality, productive pasture is essential for efficient livestock production. Currently farmers walk their fields with a plate meter to assess grass biomass available for livestock grazing. This approach does not accurately reflect field quality, nor likely future growth under climate change, limiting accuracy of pasture management decisions.PASTORAL combines satellite data with advanced algorithms, delivering weekly intelligence on grass biomass and carbon budgets through a co-designed platform to increase farm productivity and carbon efficiency.The service will be co-designed with c.100 livestock farmers across England, with service testing/development and demonstration across organic, regenerative agriculture and conventional farming systems.

优质、高产的牧草是高效畜牧生产的关键。目前，农民们在田地里用平板计量器来评估可供牲畜放牧的草生物量。这种方法不能准确地反映田地质量，也不可能在气候变化下的未来增长，限制了牧场管理决策的准确性。Pastoral将卫星数据与先进的算法相结合，通过共同设计的平台每周提供关于草生物量和碳预算的情报，以提高农场生产力和碳效率。该服务将与英格兰约100名畜牧业农民共同设计，服务测试/开发和示范有机，再生农业和传统农业系统。
