Benefit Analysis: Literature Review and Modelling Outcomes
Literature review on effects of pasture renewal in New Zealand and simulation modelling of those effects on whole farm profitability.
This review of the effects of pasture renewal on sheep, beef and dairy farming in New Zealand has two parts. The first is a review of the knowledge of pasture renewal. This encompasses the formal published information in journals and conference proceedings, as well as the informal information of unpublished data and anecdotal or farmer collected information.
We are reviewing the impacts of pasture renewal compared with no pasture renewal, rather than the impacts of pasture cultivars or species.
The second is to model the information we gather to indicate the economic impacts of pasture renewal on four sheep/beef and five model dairy farms (9 altogether).
