Pastoral
farming is also called livestock farming or grazing. It is a form of
agriculture which seeks to produce livestock, instead of growing crops. For
instance dairy farming, raising beef cattle, and raising sheep for wool.
Pastoral agriculture has placed mounting pressure on soil pore structure and function, which is a key attribute that governs a wide range of soil services and ecosystem functions.
So combatting accelerated soil erosion in hill land, soil compaction on flat and rolling landscapes, emissions from land to air and water and increasing competition from other land uses are issues that shape the future of the pastoral industry. Pastoral agriculture continues to be the dominant land use in hill land.
But the same cannot be said of lowland, where animals might be seen less as they spend more time on feed pads or indoors, or are not seen at all as the animals have been replaced by fodder and grain crops.
In keeping with the concept of matching land use to inherent land-use capability, production technologies which are employed to lift production need to be matched by technologies to mitigate the additional emissions to air and water. Since people seek to produce beyond current ceilings, due consideration has to be given to the suitability of some soils for intensification.
