Instant Insights: Integrated crop–livestock systems

2021
This collection features four peer-reviewed literature reviews on integrated crop–livestock systems in agriculture. The first chapter reviews the use of integrated crop–livestock systems to achieve balance in organic animal farming. The chapter focusses primarily on the use of agroforestry systems, their potential environmental and economic benefits ...

Integrated Crop–Livestock Farming Systems

2016
In view of concerns regarding increasing regulation of concentrated animal feeding operations, long-term sustainability, natural resource degradation, and stability and profitability of farm income, there is a considerable interest in integrated farming systems.

Integrated Crop–Livestock Systems in the Southeastern USA

Agronomy Journal, 2007
Opportunities to integrate crops and livestock are abundant throughout the southeastern USA due to a mild climate and a rich natural resource base that can produce different crops throughout the year. Although not currently common, integration of forage and grazing animals with cropping systems could benefit both production and environmental goals ...

Crop-livestock integration in Brazilian lands

Integrated agricultural production systems (SIPA's) consist of growing grain-producing crops with forage crops in the same area, in rotation, succession or intercropping. These systems, in addition to diversifying agricultural production, promote efficiency and sustainability in rural production, benefiting crops and livestock, are more sustainable ...

Integrated Crop–Livestock Systems in the U.S. Corn Belt

Agronomy Journal, 2007
Agricultural production systems in North America have become increasingly specialized. The lack of diversification has had negative economic, biological, and environmental consequences. One alternative approach to diversify agricultural production is to integrate cash grain cropping with ruminant livestock production.

Integrated Irrigated Crop–Livestock Systems in Dry Climates

Agronomy Journal, 2007
Arid and semiarid landscapes are often fragile and, thus, vulnerable to both natural weather extremes and human activities. Climate change and increasing demands for food to meet needs of a growing global population will place greater stress on these environments.

Agroecological principles for the redesign of integrated crop–livestock systems

European Journal of Agronomy, 2014
Combining crops and livestock within integrated crop–livestock systems (ICLS) represents an opportunity to improve the sustainability of farming systems. The objective of this paper is to analyse how agroecological principles can help farmers to redesign and improve the resilience, self-sufficiency, productivity, and efficiency of ICLS. Relying on case

Crop–Livestock Integration in the Urban Farming Systems of Yaoundé

2010
As a result of rapid rates of urban growth, especially in the larger centres of Douala and the capital, Yaounde, about half the Cameroon’s population lives in urban areas (World Bank 2003). Yaounde’s population increased at the rate of about 10 percent per annum from 0.64 million in 1987 to 1.5 million in 2000 (DSCN 2000), and is projected to be as ...

Phytonematodes in Integrated Crop-livestock Systems of Tropical Regions

Journal of Experimental Agriculture International, 2019
The integrated crop-livestock system (ICLS) is a model of sustainable cultivation that allows the recovery of degraded pastures and the intensification in pasture and grain production. However, the presence of pathogens in the production fields has hampered the employment of these systems.
