Amazing grazing - sustainable food and fiber from Norwegian sheep rangeland grazing systems

What does it take to value meat and wool from sheep more for the future, than it is today?

AMAZING GRAZING will bring new knowledge on how sheep rangeland grazing systems can be part of sustainable food and fiber systems. Meat and wool from Norwegian sheep are from farms managing a diversity of rangeland grazing resources, and thus use different management strategies. In this project, we will study sheep farming systems, consumer understanding of products from these systems, and how national frameworks affect the way farmers and consumers comply.
