Sustainable intensification of Brazilian livestock production through optimized pasture restoration
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Agricultural Systems"
DOI: 10.1016/j.agsy.2017.02.001
Abstract: Grassland degradation compromises the profitability of Brazilian livestock production, and pasture recovery is a promising strategy for sustainable intensification of agriculture (SAI). Recovery increases carbon sequestration into the soil and can potentially avoid deforestation; thereby… read more here.
