Production Resilience from Grass

VarmaNurmi

project goals:

- Increase production security of Finnish cattle production in increasing risk of extreme weather events.

- Develop solutions for silage grass production which respond to dairy cattles feeding requirements.

- Develop tools for planning grassland production on a field parcel level and for targeting inputs to increase resource efficiency.

- Develop and adapt research on project themes at pilot farms in collaboration with research, extension services, education and farmers.

Project produces solutions for increasing grass based cattle productions resilicience for future with more frequent extreme weather events. Solutions are also developed for increasing resource efficiency of production. The project outputs include publications, a farm model and a new tool for measuring grass yields. Results will be communicated effectively into practice via multi-channel interaction and communication between project partners and farmers.
