What We Can Achieve Together: A shift to a more regenerative food system - one that supports resilient farms and supply chains, builds thriving agricultural communities, and positions agriculture as a solution to our most pressing environmental threats - necessitates investing in integrated crop and livestock systems. Integrated crop and livestock systems, including perennial and grass-based livestock operations, have been demonstrated to improve environmental outcomes (e.g., improved nutrient cycling and water quality, enhanced soil health, increased biodiversity) and reduce on-farm economic risk (e.g., increased yield efficiency, diversified production). Farmers have flexible options for integrating crops and livestock on their farms, including through adaptive and integrated grazing. Adaptive and integrated grazing represents a particularly important opportunity, wherein farmers can graze livestock on diverse grass-based systems, diverse...
