Silvopastoral system is an alternative to improve animal welfare and productive performance in meat production systems

Abstract Climate change is a reality and global surface temperature is projected to rise substantially in the next 80 years. Agriculture practices will have to adapt to climate change, and also help to mitigate this effect using, among other strategies, forest conservation and management. Silvopasto...
