For policy makers to ignore these essential links would be folly. Given the existing ...
However, manure production in one-third of CPLR households has exceeded the nutrient requirement of crop growth on their croplands. Rebuilding the links between livestock and croplands at a regional scale thus provides vital opportunities for the sustainable intensification of agriculture in China. This...
Mexico is facing its worst dry spell in 40 years, a situation that is threatening the country's crop and livestock production and ultimately its food security. The drought, which has affected almost all regions of Mexico, has already caused irreparable damage to more than 1.5 million hectares ...
It is hypothesized that competitiveness between crop and livestock enterprises may be an important determinant of the pace of this evolution. A field study in the derived savanna of Southwest Nigeria shows that at the current stage of evolution, as a crop farmer adds livestock to his business, ...
Integrating crop and livestock production in Inland Northwest farming systems 来自 Semantic Scholar 喜欢 0 阅读量: 13 作者:L Hardesty,J Tiedeman 摘要: The demand for more ecologically and economically sustainable agriculture arises because we currently integrate products economically in a fashion that ...
Switching 12% of global livestock production from monogastric to ruminant livestock could reduce nitrogen emissions by 2% and greenhouse gas emissions by 5% due to land use change and lower demand for cropland areas for ruminant feed. The output from released cropland could feed up to 525 ...
The integration of crops and livestock is often seen as one ingredient for sustainable intensification as it offers multiple management and sustainability benefits including provision of nutrients for crop production through manure, provision of draft power and crop residues and forage that serve as ...
A case study was carried out in Wuchuan County,Inner Mongolia,which is located in the typically interlocking belt or ecotone between farmland and pastureland.Crop farming and animal raising have been combined for more than 100 years.Outputs of crop production and livestock industry from 1949 to 195...
Influence of dry season supplementation for cattle on soil fertility and millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) yield in a mixed crop/livestock production system o... An experiment was conducted in 1996 and 1997 in semi-arid Niger, to determine the influence of supplementation (no supplement, supplemented...
Information is needed on the biophysical and economic rationale for labour-demanding (and therefore, expensive) backyard animal rearing systems on smallholdings in the uplands of Java where livestock have been an integral part of highly intensive agriculture for centuries. The occurrence of high densiti...
