Integrated crop-livestock production systems in China
The Rangeland Journal, 2008The integrated crop-livestock production system provides most of the food needed by the people of China. Five types of integrated production systems are recognised; rangeland, grain crops, crop/pasture, agro-silvopastoral and ponds. Development of more sustainable and integrated crop-pasture-rangeland-livestock production systems has been recently ...

Instant Insights: Integrated crop–livestock systems
2021This 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 Systems in the U.S. Corn Belt
Agronomy Journal, 2007Agricultural 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, 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 Systems in the Southeastern USA
Agronomy Journal, 2007Opportunities 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 ...

Grazing Cover Crops for Soil Health in an Integrated Crop-Livestock System
XXV International Grassland Congress (IGC 2023), 2023Optimizing soil health requires building an environment that creates conditions which allow for best function of the chemical, biological, and physical properties of the soil to thrive as an organism and an ecosystem. Integrated crop-livestock systems (ICLS) use a systems approach to provide improvements to soil health parameters.

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

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.

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.
