Grasslands clearly provide the feed base for grazing livestock and thus numerous high-quality foods, but such livestock also provide products such as fertilizer, transport, traction, fibre and leather.

National Grassland Ecosystems provide services that:

  • Disperse seeds.

  • Mitigate drought and floods.

  • Cycle and move nutrients.

  • Detoxify and decompose waste.

  • Control agricultural pests.

  • Maintain biodiversity.

  • Generate and preserve soils and renew their fertility.

  • Contribute to climate stability.
