SILVOPASTORAL

Trees and livestock:
Trees provide livestock with shelter against heat stress, thereby increasing the animal's well-being. They also extract nutrients from deeper soil layers, produce organic matter, and help reduce erosion. These benefits translate into better overall system productivity.

AGROSILVICULTURAL

Trees and crops:
A balanced amount and species of trees strategically placed into the cropland help create the micro-climatic and soil conditions to optimize system performance.

AGROSILVOPASTORAL

Trees, crops and livestock:
These elaborate systems produce maximum economic performance while providing ecosystem services and landscape restoration opportunities.
