Regenerative farming? How? Why?
What happens here
To maximize soil health and grass recovery, implement intensive rotational grazing. This involves moving animals frequently (daily or every few days) to small plots of land. This prevents overgrazing, allowing grass to stay in its 'teenage growth spurt' phase, where it grows rapidly and recovers quickly. It also encourages both above-ground and below-ground growth (roots), further building soil structure. Move animals before they have a chance to overgraze an area. This technique is often referred to as 'mob grazing' in farming circles.
Goal: Optimize grass growth and soil stimulation by carefully managing animal movement.
