The technology consists of seeding pastureland with high palatable species whenever they are purely represented. In order to ensure a quality grass cover for grazing areas, pastures are ploughed (removing non-palatable shrubs) and planted with a variety of grains: i.e. oats, barley, alfalfa. This operation is periodically repeated (every tree-four years) according to the state of the grasses.
Purpose of the Technology: Regeneration of degraded pastures
Natural / human environment: The technique is an agronomic measure which is applied to degraded pastures (often modest areas of pasture land closest to farm sheds and stables).
As to the context of production, it is characterised by a medium level of mechanisation (only the most demanding operations are carried out using mechanical means), the production system is essentially mixed, a small part is destined for personal consumption whilst the bulk of production is destined for local markets. The property is predominantly privately owned but also includes some public land, especially in the case of pasture land. Most farms in the area are livestock farms whilst the agricultural component is destined exclusively for private consumption.
