Grasslands are a key component of French and European agricultural systems. An exhaustive analysis of their position was made in the FP7 Multisward project coordinated by Jean-Louis Peyraud. During the last 50 years, the grassland surface area declined by 10 MHa and remained stable in proportion of the total agricultural area. In France, which exhibits contrasted situations from a region to the other, both temporary and artificial grasslands now are made of species mixtures, whereas they mainly consisted of pure swards in 1960. In Europe, productivity varies from 1 to 10, from south Portugal under drought up to North Germany, rather well watered. Zootechnical productivity gains determined such transformations, also boosted by European polic...
