Shownotes

This episode, the topic is silvopasture, a branch of agroforestry that purposefully combines trees, forage, and livestock on the same land unit to create a mutually beneficial, intensively managed system.

Our guest for this episode is Lisa Zabek, Agroforestry Specialist at the BC Ministry of Agriculture, who joined us to explain how silvopasture systems work, the benefits these systems deliver when practiced well, and highlight examples of silvopasture in practice in BC.

For more information about Silvopasture practices, this BC MInistry of Agriculture page is a good place to start.
