The area grazed is the total area of pastures owned, rented or otherwise allocated to the agricultural holding on which animals were kept for grazing during the reference year. The grazed area can also be harvested by mowing or other means. It includes all grasslands that are grazed, independent if they are temporary or permanent nature. Permanent grasslands no longer used for production purposes are however excluded, as well as common lands not allotted to individual holdings.
