Abstract

Agricultural ecology is the study of agricultural systems, their component parts (particularly the ecological components) and their internal and external interactions. This paper explores how we, as a family of graziers, employ ecological principles in agricultural land management, specifically livestock grazing, and illustrates this with some specific farm management practices. Implications are explored for natural resource management policy and practice that endeavours to engage land mangers adept at the practical application of ecological principles in managing their grazing businesses.
