SOLID Technical Note 12. Agroforestry for livestock systems

Description

There is increasing evidence that supports the promotion of agroforestry in temperate developed countries as a sustainable alternative to industrialised agriculture with high reliance on external inputs with its associated negative environmental externalities. However, evidence on the performance of such systems in the context of European low-input production systems is still lacking. This technical note highlights some of the potential benefits and impacts of utilising an agroforestry system for low-input and organic dairy systems.
