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?

I believe that the biggest advantage of silvopasture is that having cows graze amongst the trees instead of pastures will help keep the land from degrading and will help increase the biodiversity.

I am surprised to learn that only 1% of American farmers use this technique.
