Couvrant 40% de la superficie agricole européenne, les prairies sont d'une importance vitale tant pour l'agriculture que pour la société. Ces prairies remplissent de multiples fonctions, y compris la fourniture locale de fourrage pour l'élevage (et donc une alimentation de haute qualité pour les populations), la conservation de la biodiversité, le stockage du carbone et la fourniture de paysages `` traditionnels '' que les citoyens européens apprécient à des fins récréatives et du patrimoine culturel. .

L'avenir de l'élevage des prairies en Europe est entre les mains des jeunes agriculteurs. Par rapport à d'autres sujets, la gestion des prairies a souvent été un point faible de l'enseignement dispensé par les écoles techniques agricoles de plusieurs pays européens. La formation des futurs agriculteurs et conseillers pourrait ainsi être sensiblement améliorée, ce qui pourrait conduire à une meilleure gestion des prairies à moyen et long termes. Pour cette raison, le projet européen Inno4Grass a créé un programme et une série de présentations PowerPoint sur la gestion pratique des prairies pour les générations actuelles et futures d'agriculteurs et de conseillers des prairies.
