Researchers at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln will receive a $1-million grant to probe how to improve land use efficiency through the integration of livestock and crop production systems, the school announced. The Foundation for Food and Agricultural Research (FFAR) will provide the grant, which will support research on various outputs, including yields, soil health and greenhouse gas emissions in addition to the economic feasibility of adopting new practices. The research team expects to find an integrated system where cattle grazing with existing crop production systems will increase output per acre and reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with production.
