Abstract

Feeding strategy is a major dimension of intensification and largely determines the environmental and economic impacts of livestock production systems, in particular concerning land use competition, greenhouse gas emissions and rural livelihoods. Literature suggests that a key driver of intensification is increasing population density – associated with decreased labor costs, shifts in demand and institutional and political change; whilst at the household level farmer education and market access are also important. However, the topic has not been addressed in the rangelands of post-Soviet Eurasia, where vast underused pasture resources may be reclaimed, but improved feeding is also a key aim of agricultural policy.
