What is silvopasture? -- Perspectives from ecology and history -- Taking care of animals -- Converting woods to silvopasture -- Bringing trees into pasture -- Putting it all together.
In this how-to guide, ecologist and forest farmer Steve Gabriel explores the philosophy and techniques behind silvopasture - the integration of trees, animals, and forages in a whole-system approach that creates a number of benefits for livestock, farmers, and the environment. This system not only provides a sustainable farm income, but also holds the key to restoring land, building soil carbon, and creating climate resilience.--COVER.
