DivGrass

Our mission:
DivGrass is dedicated to improving the biodiversity and climate resilience of dairy pastures across the North Sea region. In the context of climate change, the aim is to make agricultural businesses in grassland management fitter for the future. The central questions are whether species-rich grassland can contribute to greater climate resilience and how adapted grassland management can ensure consistently high production outputs and thus maintain the economic viability of the farm. 

Why DivGrass?
Agricultural practices, especially in dairy farming, have a direct impact on the health of grassland ecosystems. As climate change brings new challenges, adaptive management is crucial. DivGrass investigates the importance and impact of species-rich grassland compared to species-poor grassland in terms of production performance and biodiversity.

Our approach:
Innovative research: using field labs and AI-driven drone technology, we collect and analyze data to understand best practices for grassland management.
Practical solutions: Working with 11 international partners from Sweden, France, the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany, we are developing strategies that balance biodiversity, productivity and economic viability.
Supporting farmers: Through comprehensive guidance and the upcoming DivGrass app, we provide farmers with actionable insights to help them maintain and improve their grassland.

Get involved:
Be part of a ground-breaking initiative supported by the INTERREG North Sea Program with a grant of 3.8 million euros. Together we can create a sustainable future for dairy farming and our planet.
