Intensive Silvopasture: A Sustainable and Profitable Agroforestry Practice


๐Ÿงต The TL;DR

Intensive silvopasture combines nitrogen-fixing trees with grasses, which are grazed by livestock in a managed rotation. This system has numerous benefits, including increased yields, improved soil health, and reduced methane emissions. It is becoming increasingly popular in tropical climates, and is also gaining traction in Latin America.


    ๐Ÿ”‘ Key Points

  • Increased yields & improved soil health
  • Potential to sequester 26.6 tons of CO2 per hectare
  • Reduction in cattle methane production by 20-30%
