Upland areas are often important areas for the production of native and introduced perennial and annual forages, and are also important areas for grazing cattle. Many of the forage species that are grown in the upland areas are also grown along cropland bunds or around the perimeter of cropland as ‘living fences’. For a variety of cultural and logistical reasons, upland areas are commonly shared by more than one household and grazing of this land is often communal; whereas cropland is typically used exclusively by the household owners, although communal grazing of crop residues does occur in some locations.
