Why are you interested in the DivGrass project?

Our farm is located in East Frisia, a pasture-intensive North Sea region of Germany. Due to global climatic changes, this region will also have to adapt to changes. We are therefore interested in the DivGrass project so that knowledge can be built up for our region on how grassland use could be adapted and to what extent this affects forage quality.
