Why Forage Remains Essential in Global Agriculture Despite Emerging Feed Alternatives

The global forage market growth is estimated to boost in the coming years due to its importance in animal nutrition and sustainable agriculture. Forage is favored by livestock producers for its natural health benefits, low cost, and eco-friendly properties, and helps improve animal well-being and supports land care through better soil quality. In addition to this, interest in efficient and green livestock feed is increasing, forage sustains its role as a fundamental and trustworthy part of global agricultural systems and farming practices.

According to 6Wresearch, the Global Forage Market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.00% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2031. Increasing demand for meat and dairy, growing livestock numbers, and increased focus on animal nutrition are propelling growth in the global forage market. Forage crops such as alfalfa, clover, ryegrass, and silage supply essential nutrients while enhancing soil fertility and preventing erosion.
