During the last decade grassland and ruminant production has changed from being an almost pure economic activity into a subject of public debate. This book contains twenty invited and one hundred submitted papers concerning grassland production and utilization, nature conservation, environmental and socio-economic issues. All contributions were subject to peer review, so this book can be considered an standard publication
