REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodHad you heard of the term "silvopasture" before now? After learning more about it, what do you think is the biggest advantage of silvopasture?
Mrs. Kaake 4/02/2019 10:05 AMSilvopasture is a completely new topic to me. I am familiar with local and sustainable farming practices, but even those result in methane release that outpaces any known measures to remedy it. The two big advantages are the reduction in carbon emissions and the potential revenue impact (after investment) for farmers. Sounds like a win-win!
