""If you shut your eyes and are a lucky one, you may see at times a shapeless pool of lovely pale colours suspended in the darkness; then if you squeeze your eyes tighter, the pool begins to take shape, and the colours become so vivid that with another squeeze they must go on fire. But before they go on fire you see the lagoon.""

QUESTION
FoodLearn 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 had not heard the term Silvopasture until now but I had seen an example of it (without knowing it had an exact name) on a food documentary I watched. Of course this system makes complete sense. The biggest ecological advantage of Silvopasture is the reduction on agriculture carbon emissions. The most appealing part of this system to me is that it is the way the system is meant to work. Plants, trees, animals all working together in tandem to feed each other. It's beautiful.
