The adoption of innovative strategies for fertilization under pastures, unlike traditional fertilization, seeks to achieve specific objectives. In this regard, the mistaken argument that supports national livestock growth is due to the expansion of new frontiers can be substantially broken by taking into account the new soil fertilization strategies under pastures. Innovative strategies are based on flexible management and seek, among other ways, the use of agricultural and industrial waste, thus minimizing environmental impacts by reducing the emission of greenhouse gases and maximizing carbon fixation. Thus, the search for alternative sources to inorganic fertilizers and maximizing the efficiency of their use will continue to be the main objective of technological innovation of soils in pasture areas for the foreseeable future.
