PASTORAL - Pasture Optimisation for Resilience and Livelihoods

优质、多产的牧场对于高效的畜牧业生产至关重要。目前，农民们用平板测量仪在田里行走，以评估可供牲畜放牧的草的生物量。这种方法不能准确反映田地质量，也不能准确反映气候变化下未来的增长，限制了牧场管理决策的准确性。PASTORAL将卫星数据与高级算法相结合，通过共同设计的平台提供有关草生物量和碳预算的每周情报，以提高农场生产率和碳效率。这项服务将与英格兰各地的约100名畜牧业农民共同设计，在有机、再生农业和传统农业系统中进行服务测试/开发和演示。

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.
