Working Groups

Since 2002 different groups of scientists from different European countries have requested the EGF to act as a working group under the umbrella of EGF. This initiative was supported by the Executive Committee. Currently there are four EGF Working Groups on the following topics:

• Grassland re-sowing and grass-arable rotations (2002)
• Dairy farming systems (2004)
• Analytical methods for measuring fatty acids in forage (2006-2010)
• Grazing (2008)
• Semi-natural grasslands (2011)

The Working Groups report to each EGF General Meeting and, more recently, on the EGF Website.
