Extract

In the majority of developing countries, there is increasing competition for land use. This is due, on the one hand, to increasing population pressure and, on the other hand, to the need to earn/save foreign exchange by growing crops for export and also for human consumption at home. In this situation, it becomes increasingly difficult to justify the utilization of land for animal production only, as is the case in grazing systems.
