Glossary:Permanent grassland

Permanent grassland and meadow is land used permanently (for several, usually more than five, consecutive years)

to grow herbaceous forage crops, through cultivation (sown) or naturally (self-seeded);
not included in the crop rotation scheme on the agricultural holding.

Permanent grassland and meadow can be either used for grazing by livestock, or mowed for hay or silage (stocking in a silo).
