Silvopasture is an agroforestry system that combines forestry and pastureland management to create a mutually beneficial relationship between trees, forage plants, and livestock.
In silvopasture, trees are grown in and around pastureland, providing a variety of benefits including shade, wind protection, improved soil health, and enhanced biodiversity.
Livestock graze the pasture while also benefiting from the trees, which can provide additional food, shelter, and protection. This system has been used for centuries and has been shown to improve both forestry and livestock production outcomes while also providing environmental benefits.
