Project Background
The benefits of management intensive grazing (MIG) have been established and supported by both research and practical observations, but a lack of training and resources for small farms has been an obstacle to implementation. The purpose of this project is to create local demonstration farms that will provide limited resource farmers with training and technical assistance in management intensive grazing practices, allowing them to optimize grazing lands and minimize the negative environmental impacts of over-grazing.
