This collection features four peer-reviewed literature reviews on
integrated crop-livestock systems in agriculture. The first chapter
reviews the use of integrated crop-livestock systems to achieve
balance in organic animal farming. The chapter focusses primarily
on the use of agroforestry systems, their potential environmental
and economic benefits, as well as how they contribute to animal
health and welfare. The second chapter examines the different
state-of-the-art integrated crop-livestock systems in various
eco-regions worldwide under Conservation Agriculture. As a world
leader in the adoption of integrated crop-livestock systems, a
substantial part of the chapter is dedicated to the research and
adoption of these systems in Brazil. The third chapter illustrates
how crop-livestock systems contribute to improving global food
security and diversifying the diets of smallholder livelihoods. The
chapter explores the climate resilience of these systems and the
mitigation strategies developed and implemented by farmers to deal
with climate variability. The final chapter discusses the
development of whole-farm system models to understand the
complexity of integrated crop-livestock systems. The chapter
assesses the key processes governing interactions between farm
components and provides two examples of common whole-farm model
applications from contrasting environments to demonstrate this.
