Silvopastoral systems can be designed to produce high-value timber trees while providing short-term income from cattle, attracting small and medium landowners to silvoculture. In order to make the systems more efficient, it is necessary to increase the productivity of the forage under the tree shade. In the present study, the establishment, productivity and nutritional quality of eight le…
Conventional cattle breeding has been linked to a negative environmental impact. Recent questioning about food quality, animal well-being and environmental protection are perfectly matched by production systems based on ecological principles, such as agroforestry systems. Silvopastoral systems are one kind of agroforestry combining pastures and cattle with trees. The present proposal aims…
