Description

Trees in crop-livestock systems often add significant synergistic values. Innovations that can strengthen the multi-dimensional role of integrated crop-livestock-trees systems and their resilience are taking place and there is a need to share this knowledge more efficiently and to build jointly owned research and development programmes to achieve critical mass of expertise and financial resources focused on helping farmers in major agro-ecologies. This proceeding of the electronic and face-to-face Consultation held early in 2010 is just a first step. FAO is committed to facilitate effective development, focused on sustainable production intensification of crops and of livestock and their integrated systems - at the farm level and also area-wide integration -- such as at the community or watershed levels. - from Amzon
