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 ...

Trajectories of crop–livestock integration in the context of specialization in Northwest Vietnam
The Journal of Agricultural Science, 2023 AbstractMixed crop–livestock systems, the world's most widespread farming systems, promote farm resilience through diversification and allow for crop–livestock integration (CLI). Intensification and specialization challenge these systems. In Northwest Vietnam, the standard farm model is based on mixed crop–livestock family farms but is shifting towards

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 ...
