Silvopasture
Silvopasture is the agricultural practice of intentionally integrating forestry and grazing livestock on a single piece of land to optimize production while enhancing biodiversity and carbon sequestration and diversifying farmer's outputs. Silvopasture systems sequester carbon in trees and soil, reduce greenhouse gas emissions from livestock, and improve landscape resilience to climate change by maintaining diverse ecosystems. One of the main advantages of silvopasture systems is reducing heat stress in livestock, which improves animal performance and well-being.
