Research need from Focus Group: Economics of finishing beef cattle on pasture-based systems

As the EIP-AGRI Network has become part of the EU CAP Network, this website will no longer be updated after 1 April 2023. It will remain available in a static form as a reference of all previous EIP-AGRI activities. All interactive features such as the login, the main search function of the website, and the advanced filtering of the databases (e.g. project database and collaborative areas) will no longer be available. You will find all the new and up-to-date information on the EU CAP Network website.

This is the problem:

This need for research has been identified in FG 42 on “Sustainable beef production systems”. If you want to know more about it, check the final report of the Focus Group.

There is a need to test the economics of finishing beef cattle on pasture on a variety of systems, breeds and regions, its limitations and necessary interventions to understand the impact on:

system profitability; this is influenced by animal performance as well as acceptance of the meat produced, both along the chain and by consumers,
environmental externalities such as biodiversity, nitrate leaching risk, etc.
