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 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 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 ...

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.

Potential of crop-livestock integration to enhance carbon sequestration and agroecosystem functioning in semi-arid croplands

Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2020
While characteristics of semi-arid climates place limitations on soil organic carbon (SOC) storage, there is opportunity and urgency for increasing the quality and long-term persistence of cropland SOC content within these agroecosystems.

Grazing Cover Crops for Soil Health in an Integrated Crop-Livestock System 

XXV International Grassland Congress (IGC 2023), 2023
Optimizing 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.

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.

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

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.
