Book Description
Focusing on the different types of grassland farming and their impact on the environment, Environmental Impacts of Pasture-based Farming takes a broad and interdisciplinary view of the subject. The text is organized into two sections, the first addressing issues facing environmental quality, namely soil, water and air quality and socioeconomic impacts. The second section offers commentary on how the different pastoral sectors influence environmental issues. With highly tuned farm productive systems comes the risk of environmental impacts, and the purpose of this text is to highlight the areas with which these risks are associated and how best to mitigate them. While drawing attention to potential problems, chapter authors always remain conscious of the socio-economic needs of land users and the increasing world population and keep in mind that intense mitigation may be too restrictive on the farming system. This book takes an unbiased approach to improving management of grazed land and incorporates research from environmental science, agriculture, soil science and ecology.

Book Description
"... This work is aimed at determining water use efficiency, energy consumption and greenhouse gas emission relationships for different irrigation systems, and the ways in which uncertainty of different parameters impact on these relationships. Two irrigation regions were selected for study: the Coleambally Irrigation Area (CIA) in New South Wales, which uses surface water, and the South East of South Australia (SESA), a groundwater dependent region. Case study farms were selected and a survey was undertaken to determine the level of inputs and water use for crop production and carry out energy and emission budgets from land preparation to harvest stages. Regionally accepted data sets were used to predict the consequences of converting to pressurised irrigation methods. A time dependent model was developed in Excel to the @Risk software to determine the level of uncertainty related to water and energy consumption and carbon equivalent emissions, based on possible variability in the environmental and operating inputs"--Abstract.
