Abstract Rangeland grazing systems cover a wide range of the world’s grazing lands, provide primary agricultural products, and are rich in natural and semi-natural vegetation that supports habitats with a high nature value. They are also important for socio-economic reasons. These systems, however, are coming under increasing pressure regarding efficiency and adaptation to climate change. Technological innovations have been recognised as part of the solution needed to address these challenges. This feature paper presents how a research and demonstration farm in Scotland (part of the Global Farm Platform Initiative) is developing a new digital vision for rangeland grazing systems to help tackle these issues. The vision includes ensuring rangeland livestock systems are fit for the 21st century, through monitoring livestock welfare and performance, natural capital and biodiversity metrics.
