Identifying and communicating optimal grazing choices for sustainable livestock farming

该项目旨在确定最佳放牧管理，并在交流有关土壤健康和可持续性的复杂科学方面推广最佳做法。将与畜牧业者共同设计原则，将牲畜放牧对生态系统可持续性的影响降至最低，作为敏感的自然资源管理的典范，同时保持粮食生产，应对生物多样性丧失和气候变化紧急情况。主要的伦理问题将围绕农民采访和与农民的交流，包括外展方式。显然需要获得同意。研究人员在现场工作方面的安全将遵循CCRI程序，包括在进行现场工作之前进行风险评估的要求。

The project aims to identify optimal grazing management and advance best practice in communicating complex science on soil health and sustainability. Engaging with livestock farmers to co-design principles minimising livestock grazing impacts on ecosystem sustainability, will be developed as an exemplar of sensitive natural resource management whilst maintaining food production and responding to the biodiversity loss and climate change emergencies. The main ethical issues will be around farmer interviews and exchanges with farmers, including around outreach approaches. Consent will clearly need to be obtained. Researcher safety with regards field work will follow CCRI procedures including the requirement for risk assessments prior to undertaking fieldwork.
