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 ...

Crop–livestock integration beyond the farm level: a review

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.

Comparing the Sustainability and Circularity of Two Livestock Production Systems in the Sierra Norte of Puebla, Mexico

Biology and Life Sciences Forum, 2023
In this study, integrated crop–livestock production systems (ISG) were compared against intensive (RF) and semi-intensive feedlot systems (FS). A sustainability evaluation incorporating multidimensional indicators and a circularity assessment using ...

Crop-livestock integration practices, knowledge, and attitudes among smallholder farmers: Hedging against climate change-induced shocks in semi-arid Zimbabwe

Open Life Sciences, 2021
Domestic and international crops and livestock trade remain fragile among Zimbabwean smallholder farmers. Commercial crop-livestock integration in climate change vulnerable areas is low and sparsely documented.

Potential benefits of tanniferous forages in integrative crop-livestock agroecosystems

Frontiers in Agronomy, 2022
Integrating livestock into cropping systems may enhance ecosystem services while still providing efficient food production. Including tanniferous forages in crop-livestock systems could further enhance ecosystem services. Interest in phytochemicals, such

Research on Integrated Crop-Livestock Systems in Brazil [PDF]

Revista Ciência Agronômica, 2014
Integrated crop-livestock systems (ICLS) are designed to exploit synergisms and emergent properties resulting from interactions between different soil-plant-animal-atmosphere compartments that integrate themselves at different spatial-temporal scales. In this review, a panorama of the evolution of studies based on ICLS is presented.

Soil Fertility Indicators in Crop-Livestock-Forest Integration Systems

, 2023
Aiming at agricultural production in a sustainable, satisfactory manner and with less impact on the environment, cultivation systems such as crop-livestock integration, crop-livestock-forest integration, direct planting systems and agroforestry have been

Corn productivity in function of surface application of lime in differents management systems and cultural preparation [PDF]

Engenharia Agrícola, 2014
The evaluation of technologies employed at the agricultural production system such as crop rotation and soil preparation, both associated with crop-livestock integration, is crucial.

Livestock integration into soybean systems improves long-term system stability and profits without compromising crop yields

Scientific Reports, 2021
Climate models project greater weather variability over the coming decades. High yielding systems that can maintain stable crop yields under variable environmental scenarios are critical to enhance food security.
