Integrated Irrigated Crop–Livestock Systems in Dry Climates
Agronomy Journal, 2007Arid 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.

Integrated Crop–Livestock Farming Systems
2016In 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.

Agroecological principles for the redesign of integrated crop–livestock systems
European Journal of Agronomy, 2014Combining 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

Animal and Forage Performance of Integrated Crop-Livestock Systems
XXV International Grassland Congress (IGC 2023), 2023Grazing of cool-season cover crops has been shown to be a viable tool for extending the grazing season while mitigating environmental risks associated with row-crop farming systems. Grazing cover crops is not novel, but most recent information available on this practice focuses on soil health as opposed to forage production and animal performance ...

Nutrient Cycling and Crop Responses on Integrated Crop-Livestock Systems
XXV International Grassland Congress (IGC 2023), 2023Integrated crop-livestock systems (ICLS) can bring numerous benefits to crops or livestock systems, such as increase soil C sequestration, farm profitability, and provisioning of ecosystem services. In a changing world, production systems need to become more resilient and sustainable.

Phytonematodes in Integrated Crop-livestock Systems of Tropical Regions
Journal of Experimental Agriculture International, 2019The 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.

Crop–Livestock Integration in the Urban Farming Systems of Yaoundé
2010As 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 ...

Financial Inclusion and Adoption of Integrated Crop-Livestock Farming Systems in India
Despite the potential of integrated crop-livestock farming systems (ICLFS) in boosting productivity, thereby helping to reduce food insecurity and poverty, its adoption remains low in South Asia, including India. Nonetheless, the implementation of such systems often requires access to funding and sufficient financial resources.Koomson, Isaac, Ahmad, Shabbir
