Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Sowing improved forages can sustainably intensify mixed crop-forage-livestock-tree systems and yield multiple social, economic and environmental benefits.
- Observation Sustainable intensification improves productivity of tropical forage systems.
- Observation Sustainable intensification reduces the ecological footprint of livestock production and generates ecosystem services including improved soil quality and reduced erosion, sedimentation and greenhouse gas emissions.
- Observation Integrating improved grass and legume forages can restore degraded lands.
- Observation Properly managed tropical forages accumulate large amounts of soil carbon.
- Observation Legume forages fix atmospheric nitrogen.
- Observation Grasses inhibit soil nitrification and reduce nitrous oxide emissions.
- Observation Tropical forages reduce greenhouse gas emissions per unit of livestock product.
