Apa itu Conservation Grazing?

Conservation grazing (ragutan beteraskan konservasi) bermaksud ternakan dilepaskan secara terancang (sistematik, terkawal dan berpusingan ragutan) untuk menguruskan tumbuhan bawah, bukan sekadar dilepaskan begitu sahaja.
Tumbuhan bawah (understorey) di ladang kelapa sawit memainkan peranan penting sebagai sumber makanan semulajadi (forage) bagi ternakan sapi atau lembu dalam sistem integrasi sapi-sawit (Cattle-Oil Palm Integration).

Berry is an American farmer and writer who spent his life speaking up for small farms and healthy land. This weekend, spend some time with the people and the soil that keep you grounded. 🌿

Happy weekend from all of us at PPRM.

Integrating animals into crop land is not a new idea, and it works in many forms. In Japan, farmers practise aigamo rice-duck farming, releasing ducks into paddy fields to eat weeds and insect pests. Developed by farmer Takao Furuno in 1989, it has since been replicated in places like the Philippines with support from the FAO. In Colombia, ranchers have planted fodder trees such as Leucaena among their pastures so cattle can browse and shelter beneath them. A World Bank-backed project there reported that net income per hectare from cattle rose from US$689 to US$1,597, and bird populations in monitored areas increased by 32%. In both cases, the animals do a job for the land while also producing food.

Malaysia has its own versions. The Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) has developed models for rearing goats under mature oil palm, and reports that goats can save up to 80% of weeding costs. Agencies like FELDA have also run cattle integration projects within oil palm estates. Different animals, different landscapes, same principle.

This is the heart of regenerative thinking: when animals, crops and trees work together, the land gives more and needs less.

Cattle-oil palm integration is a farming system where cattle graze on the natural undergrowth between oil palm trees, so the same land produces both palm oil and beef. Cattle control weeds, which can reduce herbicide use and weeding costs, while their manure returns nutrients to the soil. The system has existed in Malaysia since the late 1980s and is promoted by agencies such as the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) and the Department of Veterinary Services (DVS), who have published guidance for estate operators. It is still being scaled up. The Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security is actively encouraging more estates and smallholders to adopt it as a way to raise local beef production and reduce reliance on imports.

It is in this spirit of integrated, practical farming that PPRM would like to congratulate one of our founding members, Dr Azid Kabul, on being invited as a speaker and plenary panellist at a Livestock Industry Convention in Sabah recently. His involvement reflects the growing recognition of ideas that connect land, livestock and long-term productivity, and we are proud to see our members contributing to these important national conversations.

Regeneration Doesn't Stop at the Farm Gate

📝 Three big shifts are now converging: global food policy, the rise of regenerative agriculture, and smarter digital tools for farming. Add Scope 3 emissions reporting, which requires companies to track greenhouse gases across their supply chains, and ecological outcomes on the farm can now travel into the food we buy. A new paper argues that soil and land health can influence which ingredients companies source, the quality of the food, and even how it is processed.

The authors say food science plays a key role here, as the custodian of a food's provenance and ecological story: it decides whether that story is carried through or erased along the way. Regeneration may begin on the farm, but the goal is for it to stay visible all the way to the table.

Lima sebab pertanian penting untuk negara:

🌾 Keterjaminan makanan — benteng pertama negara dari gangguan bekalan global

💰 Sumber pendapatan & pekerjaan — menampung jutaan rakyat, dari petani kecil hingga industri besar

🌍 Penjana eksport — sawit, getah dan hasil tani menyumbang besar kepada ekonomi negara

🏡 Pembangunan luar bandar — menghidupkan ekonomi di luar bandar raya

🛡️ Keselamatan negara — sistem makanan yang lemah, negara pun terdedah

Pertanian bukan sekadar isu petani. Ia isu semua rakyat.
