As managers of grazing businesses, the more biodiverse our plant ecosystems, the more resilient, stable and productive they become. Allowing nature to take its course by giving plants the 'window of opportunity' to germinate and flourish ultimately drives plant succession in the right direction, to create more diverse pastures containing perennial species. Long periods of rest (non grazing) between short intense grazes gives pastures the window of opportunity to recover, and beneficial species to germinate. Simple principles that create multiple positive outcomes.
