Integrating trees in pastures is an under-utilized and under-appreciated way to boost livestock health and happiness, and also creates wildlife habitat and boosts biodiversity. Best are #silvopasture / #woodpasture systems.

Some ‘rebel’ farmers have been doing #silvopasture - grazing stock under timber trees for years
Spoke to the oldest farmer on #Pouto Pen last week - did it for 40 yrs. Conseq. he never joined #FederatedFarmers as they were “anti" it

It's getting chilly around here, so the chicken run will be serving a dual purpose as a greenhouse. I planted two valencia orange trees to make use of the chicken fertilizer. #backyardchickens 🌱 #permaculture #silvopasture #agroforestry #compost #fruit #fruittrees #homegrown #eggs #forest #trees
Wakeup call. Other councils and farmers/forestry need to seriously start safeguarding production land. Tree’s with their roots “holding hands” across slopes are a good option. Also provides shade for livestock - something else thats not considered enough.
#agsky #silvopasture #agroforestry
Tough report. Lets see if the govt comes to the party with funding.
Planting shade trees into pasture will preserve much of the farm land. Very slippy land. #silvopasture #agroforestry
#Gisborne ’s future requires up to 100,000ha of land to be retired - report

"Don't feel frightened about combining trees and animals = you'll learn from your mistakes."
"Do the tree planting and choose areas carefully, thinking about how the whole farm works and how it interacts with what your neighbours are doing."
"Trees are much more robust than you think - but you also have to think about the needs of the trees as well as the animals - it's a major mindset change that you need to make".

"Ultimately, while #silvopasture can have benefits, Hayek says it shouldn't distract from the need to reduce beef and dairy consumption. "We need drastic reductions in the amount we're consuming overall," Hayek says."

[3/3] Dans le Nord-Est des USA, la #silvopasture est vue comme une alternative rentable face au coût élevé des terres agricoles. Elle améliore la productivité animale et redonne valeur à des forêts sous-exploitées. Mais elle demande du temps, de l’adaptation et des moyens. #geography #agroforestry
