Herb and legume mixtures offer a low input, however, environmentally, and financially sustainable forage source for livestock due to nitrogen fixing properties which reduces the use of artificial fertilisers and captures carbon into the ley. The mix of herbs and legumes allows wildlife and insects to create a habitat alongside livestock, which can be grazed or mowed for hay or silage depending on the mixture. Herbal leys have a positive impact on livestock health as they are naturally rich in minerals, and they act as a natural wormer.
