Because of this diversity, Australia is able to produce an extensive range of tropical, sub-tropical and temperate varieties suited to most climates throughout the world.

Pasture improvement does not mean only completely new pastures, but can involve different levels of inputs which give different levels of productivity.

Improvement at different levels can:

• augment existing native pastures

• replace crops in cultivation

• rotate with crops (leys)

• supplement existing feed with

• short-term pastures

• permanent pastures

• irrigated pastures

The benefits from improved pastures may include better growth rates of livestock or higher milk production, higher stocking rates, better ground cover or improved soil condition and fertility.
