Properly managed silvopasture (grazed woodland) can increase overall productivity and long-term income due to the simultaneous production of tree crops, forage, and livestock. It can provide environmental benefits, and has been practiced in many parts of the world for centuries. Silvopasture is not the same as unmanaged grazing in woodlands.
A catt of the Bakhtiari people, Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province, Iran Global map of pastoralism, its origins and historical development [1]. Pastoralism is a form of animal husbandry where domesticated animals (known as "livestock") are released onto large vegetated outdoor lands for grazing, historically by nomadic people who moved around with their herds.

Dairy cattle grazing in Germany. In agriculture, grazing is a method of animal husbandry whereby domestic livestock are allowed outdoors to free range (roam around) and consume wild vegetations in order to convert the otherwise indigestible (by human gut) cellulose within grass and other forages into meat, milk, wool and other animal products, often on land that is unsuitable for arable farming.
An indicator of a better functioning environment is newly sprouting diversity of plants and a return or increase of wildlife. Don't limit the management tools you use. The eight tools for managing natural resources are money/labor, human creativity, grazing, animal impact, fire, rest, living organisms and science/technology. To be successful ...
Degrading land, emissions from animal agriculture and reducing the biomass in a ecosystem contribute directly to climate change [2] between grazing events. Successful planned grazing strategies have been in support of the American bison of the Great Plains, [3] [4] or migratory wildebeest of the African savannas, [5] or by holistic planned ...
The program should have a clear statement of the kind of animal, timing and rate of grazing necessary to suppress troublesome plants and maintain a healthy landscape. The grazing application should 1) cause significant damage to the target plants 2) limit damage to desired vegetation and 3) be integrated with other control strategies.
Farming distinctively shapes the ecosystems of these zones, [3] and the agriculture practices in the uplands define and shape the environment and landscape. [1] Upland areas are usually covered with both dry and wet dwarf shrub heath and, rough and either managed or unmanaged improved grasslands. [1]
Soil type, minimum annual temperature, and rainfall are important factors in pasture management. [3] World agricultural land by use, permanent meadows and pastures and cropland Hillside pasture in Pennsylvania. Sheepwalk is an area of grassland where sheep can roam freely. The productivity of sheepwalk is measured by the number of sheep per area.
