How will holistic grazing have a impact on pastoral household and food?
Increased food security and increased income for the household.
Will short duration in grazing time still cause overgrazing?
YES.
REASON: no matter how short the grazing periods, overgrazing will result unless the grazing periods are what I call "time-controlled" which means that the grazing periods relate to the daily growth rate of the plants in the growing season.
More/less time lag before benefits return
More

What practices like these bring to the society?
