ADAS Research Project: SUPER-G: Developing sustainable permanent grassland systems & policies

SUPER-G, aims to co-develop sustainable permanent grassland systems and policies with farmers and policy makers that will be effective in optimising productivity, whilst supporting biodiversity and delivering a number of other public goods and services. SUPER-G is a 5-year, multi-actor project under the Horizon 2020 SFS-27-2017 call. The SUPER-G consortium is made up of 20 project partners involving 20+ farm networks and 17+ experimental platforms and field experiments across 5 biogeographical regions in Europe. The project is benchmarking & synthesizing data on permanent grassland performance through evidence reviews, field experimentation, expert elicitation and modelling. Outputs and impacts from SUPER-G include: 1) Better understanding of the importance and functioning of permanent grasslands 2) Increased availability and uptake of grassland management options & technologies 3) Improved competitiveness of farming systems based on or including permanent grassland 4) Development of agricultural and environmental policies that support optimal management of permanent grasslands
