Soil Fertility Indicators in Crop-Livestock-Forest Integration Systems

Aiming at agricultural production in a sustainable, satisfactory manner and with less impact on the environment, cultivation systems such as crop-livestock integration, crop-livestock-forest integration, direct planting systems and agroforestry have been adopted. Crop-Livestock-Forest Integration Systems allow the increase in agricultural production without the need to convert new areas to agriculture, increasing the diversification of agricultural production on rural properties and applying different scales of agricultural enterprises. Thus, crop-livestock-forest integration systems are an important alternative for the sustainable expansion of Brazilian agriculture, reducing negative environmental impacts.
