Tree management for improved pasture productivity in agrosilvopastoral systems
Sustainable Mediterranean agro-silvo-pastoral system with tree-based grazing and rotational pasture management
or
Detail description
Agrosilvopastoral system on the Sanna family farm enhances forage availability and animal welfare through strategic tree management, shrub removal, and mixed pasture rotation. By pruning downy oaks and introducing legumes like lucerne and white clover, the farm ensures sustainable feed supply during summer droughts. This integrated approach supports biodiversity, ecosystem services, and economic resilience, demonstrating a model for Mediterranean livestock farming.
