On September 25, 2024, from 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM, the "La terre est Notre Métier" exhibition will host a captivating conference on "Agroforestry in Monogastric Livestock: A Winning Alliance in Many Ways." This session will highlight the benefits of integrating trees into pig and poultry livestock systems. Discussions will focus on the synergies between agroforestry and livestock, exploring how this practice can enhance farm sustainability while promoting animal welfare.
Research projects, including those supported by ITAVI and ITAB, will demonstrate how combining trees with livestock can enrich poultry pastures, reduce thermal stress, and diversify farmers' income. A farmer will also share his practical experience with agroforestry, offering insights into the benefits and challenges of this approach. AGROBIO 35 will present key elements for successfully integrating an agroforestry system into livestock operations, including levers and resources to mobilize.
This conference is aimed at farmers, livestock producers, technicians, researchers, and agroforestry project managers, and seeks to show how agroforestry can transform monogastric livestock practices by providing sustainable and innovative solutions.
