Abstract: Limited land availability and an increasing global population are challenges faced by the agricultural sector in the coming decades. The silvopastoral system is an efficient alternative to full sun pastures that could be used to sustainably intensify animal and crop production. However, the adoption of this system is being held back by a lack of knowledge on how the trees in such a system should be arranged in order to avoid detrimental effects on pasture growth.
