Crop–livestock integration beyond the farm level: a review [PDF]

Agronomy for Sustainable Development, 2016
Paradoxically, the number of crop–livestock farms is declining across Europe, despite the fact that crop-livestock farms are theoretically optimal to improve the sustainability of agriculture. To solve this issue, crop–livestock integration may be organized beyond the farm level.

Grazing of cover crops in integrated crop-livestock systems

Animal, 2021
Conventional agriculture is specializing rapidly into the management of few monoculture crops, threatening crop diversity and questioning the sustainability of extensive cropping systems. The grazing of cover crops in integrated crop-livestock systems could be a feasible biologically based technology to restore crop diversity and mitigate ecological ...

Integrated crop-livestock systems − a key to sustainable intensification in Africa [PDF]

Tropical Grasslands - Forrajes Tropicales, 2013
Les systèmes mixtes cultures-élevage fournissent des moyens de subsistance à un milliard de personnes et produisent la moitié des céréales du monde et environ un tiers de son bœuf et de son lait. L'orientation vers le marché et la demande forte et croissante de denrées alimentaires constituent de puissantes incitations à l'intensification durable des ...

Beef cattle behavior in integrated crop-livestock systems [PDF]

Ciência Rural, 2022
ABSTRACT: Temperament often depends on the animals’ reaction to people, social and environmental conditions. However, little is known about the influence of changes in the pasture environment on cattle temperament. Thus, this study was designed to evaluate if an animals’ temperament changes in response to being kept in a silvopastoral system.

Increasing Dairy Sustainability with Integrated Crop–Livestock Farming [PDF]

Sustainability, 2020
Dairy farms are predominantly carbon sources, due to high livestock emissions from enteric fermentation and manure. Integrated crop–livestock systems (ICLSs) have the potential to offset these greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, as recycling products within the farm boundaries is prioritized.
