Integrating intensive livestock and cropping systems: Sustainable design and location

Manuel Taifouris and Mariano Martín

Agricultural Systems, 2022, vol. 203, issue C

Abstract: A mismatch between nutrient demand and consumption in livestock and cropping systems makes these sectors responsible for 24.5% of greenhouse gas emissions. In order to reduce the gap between the two industries, approaches focused on integrating livestock and crop management have been presented. Location is a key factor in the sustainable operation of these integrated systems since this variable affects both the economic and environmental dimensions of the design of the farm.
