#36 Managing a diverse landscape for healthy and productive animals with Fred Provenza

#36 Managing a diverse landscape for healthy and productive animals with Fred Provenza

Fred Provenza is a researcher in behavioural ecology who has carried out fascinating research on the nutritional wisdom of animals, on their ability to select their diet and learn. We explore with him the practical implications of his research. He explains why a biodiverse landscape is crucial to animal health and what tools we have to favour such a foraging environment. We explore at length how to train animals either to avoid certains plants or to introduce new plants into their foraging habits.
