REFLECTION QUESTIONLand Sinks 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?
Sadie Smith 6/03/2021 10:58 AMI had not heard of silvopasture before, but I'm very glad I decided to look into it. I think the biggest advantage is how we can support healthy ecosystems while also allowing livestock to graze in a natural habitat instead of a confined feed lot that produces huge amounts of emissions.
