Is Mob Grazing Beneficial to Soil Health and the Environment?

Mob grazing is a form of managed livestock grazing, it involves short intensive grazing intervals followed by long rest periods (40-80 days). The practice has the potential to enhance carbon sequestration and improve soil health. This project will assess the potential of mob grazing to sequester carbon compared with other grazing methods.
