| Abstract | It is an important aim in Norwegian agricultural policy to be self-sufficient in carbohydrate feedstuffs, be it in organic or conventional production. Due to increased demand for organic dairy, pork and poultry products in Norway, the demand for organic concentrate feed is currently exceeding domestic supply. In order to reduce import, more organic feed grain is therefore needed (see more under PART 2, item 11). On organic farms with animal production, clover–grass swards provides feed for the animals, but it also has other important functions such as to maintain soil organic matter (SOM) content, to improve soil structure, and to supply biologically fixed nitrogen for crops in the rotation. Perennial legume-grass mixtures are best in this respect because of the more developed root-system compared to annual crops. Manure obviously contributes to the recycling of the plant nutrients and organic matter to soil. |
