Challenges & solutions for Cover Crops

Grass plays an important role in global food production. The growing world population and the increasing prosperity of more and more people are leading to a greater demand for protein-rich food. That means demand for dairy products continues to grow. Grass is the main building block for nutritious dairy products: it is the cheapest source of milk protein. Grass developed from the right balance of genetics and technology ensures a healthy cow that gives the very best milk.

Farmer’s challenges around the world are increasing. Higher temperatures and longer droughts, versus sudden heavy rains. High costs and fluctuating milk and meat prices. More regulation by governments, stricter requirements on pesticide use and reducing emissions. More demand for biodiversity and more focus on hown grown feed.
