DivGrass

Our Mission

DivGrass is committed to enhancing the biodiversity and climate resilience of dairy pastures across the North Sea region. In the face of climate change, we aim to equip agricultural businesses with innovative grassland management practices that secure a sustainable future. We explore two key questions:

• Can species-rich grasslands enhance climate resilience?
• How can adapted grassland management maintain high production levels while ensuring the economic viability of farms?

Why DivGrass?

Grassland ecosystems are the backbone of dairy farming, but they face increasing pressure from climate change. Adaptive and sustainable practices are essential for securing their future.
DivGrass addresses these challenges by investigating:

• The benefits of species-rich versus species-poor grasslands.
• The relationship between biodiversity, productivity, and farm resilience.

By connecting science with practice, we provide actionable solutions that farmers can implement today.

Our Approach

Cutting-edge research:
Using field labs and AI-driven drone technology, we gather and analyze real-world data to identify best practices for managing diverse grasslands.

Collaborative solutions:
In partnership with 11 organizations from Sweden, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany, we develop strategies that balance biodiversity, productivity, and economic success.

Farmer empowerment:
Through tailored guidance and the upcoming DivGrass app, we deliver practical tools and insights, enabling farmers to thrive while preserving their grasslands.
