REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Learn More about SilvopastureHad you heard of the term "silvopasture" before now? After learning more about it, what do you think is the biggest advantage of silvopasture?
Kaia Rouse 4/23/2019 7:30 AMI have not heard of silvopasture before this event but I think the biggest advantage of silvopasture is it balances the earth by having lots of plants and animals together instead of just one crop or one kind of livestock-
