EIP-AGRI Focus Group Grazing for carbon: Final report

The potential of grasslands as a carbon (C) sink in Europe is large. However, it is unclear to what extent different grazing systems can contribute to C sequestration. The EIP-AGRI Focus Group ‘Grazing for Carbon’ shared knowledge and experience from different disciplines on the relationship between grazing and soil C. The overall aim was to identify how to increase the soil C content in grazing systems. This report lists the Focus Group’s main findings. It also includes a number of research needs from practice and ideas for Operational Groups.
