Abstract: | Abstract Silvopastoral systems are multifunctional
systems that combine herbage, shrub and tree layers
with grazing animals in a single site. The multiple
possible combinations of components within these
systems creates different options that have in common
the capacity to deliver positive outcomes related to
land productivity and environmental and climatic
benefits. This editorial provides a perspective of the
diversity of ancient and more recent silvopastoral
systems and their main benefits. The major challenges
for both systems are different. Ancient silvopastoral
systems, which originated on cultural grounds, deal
mostly with conservation issues, while intensive
silvopastoral systems, founded on technological
changes of the grazing livestock production model,
are more production driven but also concerned with
climatic changes. Both types of system share similar
benefits, and in this special issue we look at positive
outcomes in the perspective of grazing animals,
highlighting production and welfare. The purpose of this special issue is to contribute to gathering and
sharing the knowledge emerging from grazing on
different silvopastoral systems, promoting a common
ground for future integrative research approaches. |
