Hungarian pilot — regenerative grazing (buffalo)
🇭🇺 Hungary

Hungary — Regenerative Grazing Living Lab

The Hungarian pilot focuses on regenerative rotational grazing systems and their effects on soil health, biodiversity, water retention and ecosystem resilience.

The Living Lab is built around real grazing systems where researchers and farmers collaboratively test monitoring methods and regenerative management approaches under practical farming conditions.

The pilot integrates biodiversity surveys, soil biological monitoring, remote sensing and socio-economic assessment to evaluate the long-term sustainability of regenerative grazing systems.
