NewMerino® suppliers are required to operate their farming business, or be in the process of implementing, a grazing management strategy based on long term sustainability and holistic farming principals with the goal of developing a resilient ecosystem that can withstand stress and rebuild itself when necessary.

This goal should be to aim for 100% ground cover all year, with a focus on perennial grasses to regenerate the ecology and increase biodiversity.

Holistic farming principles include:

- Clear goals for the  people involved
- Clear goals for the land in use
- Clear goals for the business
- Clear goals for the management of livestock

The management process should involve:

- Regularly reviewing these strategies
- Making decision towards achieving these goals
- Monitoring the health of your land, your business and the people involved
