Livestock / Animal Husbandry / environmental study
German term or phrase: Flächenbindung
One element in a list of measures suggested to improve farming methods:

"Flächenbindung der Tierhaltung (kleiner/gleich 2 GV/ ha)"

...i.e. each large farm animal (Großvieh/GV) must have at least half a hectare. But how would we say "Flächenbildung der Tierhaltung" in English?

My brain is melting. Thank you.

Thank you. I got stuck unnecessarily on the word "Flächenbindung". In the end, I actually wrote "limitations on livestock concentration" as this was a list of "measures to be taken".
"Minimal animal husbandry space requirements" would do it, too, though.
