REFLECTION QUESTION
Food Learn More about Silvopasture

Had you heard of the term "silvopasture" before now? After learning more about it, what do you think is the biggest advantage of silvopasture?

Silvopasture was something I had never heard of before. I was intrigued and like learning about new things. There was so much information that I learned that I was amazed about. I read a total of three articles. The best information I learned was that in Australia, Columbia and Mexico they occupy 500,000 acres of silvopasture. In studies that were done, they fed the herds differend kinds of seaweed. The studies showed that feeding the herds this mixed in with their other feed, lowered gas emissions in the livestock and bettering our quality of air.

Today is my half day at work...using my free time to organize and outline my challenges so I can make the best out of my daily and one-time challenges. On the list today is setting up a schedule for my daily challenges. I am going shopping for my Femme kits that will be donated to my daughters school next week. It will be a group project with my three daughters that will not only create time together but also teach them how to help others and how to take care of themselves!
