“One of the aims for ‘The Hub’ is to
create a meeting place for all sorts of
folk to come together and share ideas
about grazing, ecology and everything in
between.
It will be a demonstration site for a range
of grazing techniques, erosion control,
technology and biodiversity monitoring.
We’re very interested to explore a
particular line of enquiry: biodiversity,
productivity, and profitability – can they
be mutually beneficial?
