Silvopasture is more effective than other grassland techniques, Drawdown explains, because it can sequester carbon through biomass and soil. And in addition to being a key climate solution, the system can be financially fruitful for farmers. Trees and other forage can produce nuts, mushrooms, maple syrup, and other products, while providing shade and protection from the elements for livestock. And manure can serve as a natural fertilizer, at no extra cost to farmers.

So far, Drawdown states, “growth of silvopasture has been limited by practical and cultural factors.”
It’s much harder to ride a horse through a pasture littered with fallen timber and debris, for instance. And what about winter time, when it’s covered in snow? How do you feed your livestock without using a tractor to haul the bales in?
Is there bear shit in the woods? Only where there are bears. Where do bears live? In the woods.
