Adoption of Innovative Models for the Management of Pastures for Food and Ecosystem Quality
To elaborate rational management models of natural pastures with specific reference to the soil, climatic and floristic characteristics of the Campania pastures. Identify synthetic indicators of environmental quality of pastures (soil, plant and animal communities). Develop breeding protocols aimed at achieving high levels of animal welfare. Evaluate the quality of the farm products following the PRV and the adoption of the specifications. Create a set of production specifications, pursuant to Reg. 1151/12 title IV, art29 and 31, based on the correct management of the pastures and therefore on the reduced environmental impact, as well as the commercial response to the productions obtained.
The project involves the application of the innovative "Voisin" (PRV) method, aimed at creating a rational process for the management of pastures while taking into account the three absolute elements of reference, "plant-soil-animal", as a systemic ecological unit in which each element must be considered according to its continuous interaction with the other elements. The PRV is therefore an innovative system that allows animals to benefit from high nutritional quality feed and increased pasturage availability, as well as a better performance in regards to production of meat and milk.
The “PRV” will be applied to companies partnered with the project, who joined by making available the business chosen in three different provinces, Avellino, Salerno, and Benevento. These businesses present different typologies, in order to test the “PRV” in different environmental, climatic and soil conditions. Furthermore, all companies have ensured that part of the pasture will be managed with traditional methods in order to carry out the necessary comparative analyses with Voisin.
It is necessary to implement forms of management of grazing animals in order to: maximize the levels of ingestion and the energy yield of the ration in terms of milk and meat; respect the rhythms of the herd or herd (well-being); preserve and improve the forage quality of pork rinds while preserving their specific biodiversity; reduce trampling, pathways and consequent surface erosion; maintain or improve the level of environmental quality; conserve and preserve habitats. Grazing methods are therefore necessary, such as PRV, aimed at harmonizing the many variants related to pastoral activity in the most natural way possible, avoiding or minimizing mechanical interventions. The PRV aims to increase sustainability from an economic and environmental point of view compared to traditional practices, has the aim of guaranteeing animals a high level of well-being, improving the structure and fertility of the soil and increasing productivity per hectare compared to grazing free and / or planting of annual crops.
