Guiding Question 14.5

How can we manage grasslands to lessen the threats they face while still using them productively?

Why You Should Care

If steps aren’t taken to reduce the impact of agriculture on the world’s grasslands, there will no longer be enough land to produce food for everyone. As it stands now, nearly all of the land suitable for growing food is already in cultivation, so, as the world’s population continues to grow, efforts should be taken to preserve it and maintain its fertility. Agricultural researchers have been studying many new strategies to protect grasslands, including low- and no-till planting of crops, using cover crops to stabilize the soil when it is not cultivated for a primary crop, and rotational grazing.

Imagine you are a grassland conservationist trying to get local ranchers in the central United States to adopt planned grazing.

1) You would have to convince more than just the ranchers. You might need to convince local agricultural experts like extension agents and university researchers because they influence practices. Politicians at different levels if properly convinced their constituents were interested in adopting the method and that it would be beneficial might sponsor legislation to subsidize ranchers’ efforts to that end. You might need to convince bankers to issue financing to ranchers. There could be many more stakeholders that you could choose; the important thing would be to justify your choice.

2) There could be many reasons; a few examples are:
• Expense if new fences or gates need to be built
• Planning and timing: It is difficult to know how long to leave animals in a section of rangeland before moving them to the next one.
• Labor: It is more work to move animals periodically than to simply leave them in one pasture.

3) A few examples of reasons:
• Planned grazing maintains a constant food supply for livestock.
• Planned grazing keeps populations of undesirable plants low.
• If properly executed, planned grazing would protect soil and water resources because grass health would be maintained, stabilizing the soil, which in turn maintains the grassland’s ability to take up excess fertilizer and sediment and prevent it from spoiling the water supply.
