French term
productions animales liées au sol
French to English
Law/Patents
Agriculture
In application to purchase land from a SAFER, in section in which the application must describe their present operations, there are sections headed "Natures ds cultures", "Production hors sol", "Productions animales liées au sol".
So I understand that the concept is essentially "production of livestock that is dependent on grazing land (or feed produced on the farm, I suppose)", as opposed to e.g. fish and poultry. And I guess I could translate as e.g. "land/soil-dependent livestock production". But what I'm having trouble with is finding an actual term that is used in English-- can anyone offer any suggestions?

land-based ruminant production systems
suggestion
"In land-based ruminant production systems, a large potential exists for improved forage supply by restoration and sustainable management
of grasslands, better management practices on crop lands, and the introduction of new plant types such as herbal and tree legumes."
