Establishment and management of silvopasture systems in South Carolina

We are excited to announce the release of this new educational handbook: “Establishment and management of silvopasture systems in South Carolina”.

This is a great multidisciplinary collaboration among 12 specialists and graduate students to discuss aspects related to the establishment and management of silvopasture. This handbook provides concepts and research-based information on the establishment and management of silvopasture for Extension and agricultural educators, producers, students, and the public in South Carolina. The goal is to provide a practical resource that any producer can understand and use, regardless of their background or scientific training. This handbook encompasses topics related to trees, forages and livestock management, water quality, ecosystem services, economic considerations to adopt silvopasture, and more.

Huge thanks to all co-authors for their dedication in concluding this project:
