Approximately 34% of the EU's agricultural land is occupied by grasslands, crucial for various ecological functions. However, these grasslands are declining due to intensified agriculture and climate change. The GrassWise project aims to enhance grassland management and productivity through innovative solutions. Involving 135 partner farms and nine communities across Europe and New Zealand, it focuses on testing new grass and legume mixtures to improve environmental and economic benefits. Additionally, a European data platform will be developed to integrate farm data and satellite information for better grassland management. Coordinated by Teagasc from Ireland, the project runs from October 2026 to September 2030 and is funded by the EU's Horizon Europe program.
