Improved pastures are areas of land that have been enhanced to provide better quality forage for livestock. This is typically achieved through the introduction of high-yielding grass and legume species, which are more nutritious and resilient than native plants. These pastures are managed to optimize growth and sustainability, ensuring a consistent food supply for animals. The benefits of improved pastures include increased livestock productivity and better soil health. By using practices such as rotational grazing and proper fertilization, farmers can maintain the quality of the land while supporting the growth of livestock like cattle and sheep. This leads to more efficient farming and reduced environmental impact.
