Introduction

Livestock that Can Be Raised on Silvopasture

Introduction

With Livestock being the greatest driver of deforestation globally, silvopasture (the grazing of livestock among trees) is a middle ground that doesn't fully eliminate the damage livestock do to trees or the environment, but provides many benefits over bare fields.

These benefits include cleaner air, and reduced livestock odor, better biodiversity, and cooler microclimate. Reduced pollution run off from manure and other pollutants associated with livestock.

Grants & Funding

North America

USA

Fibershed Healthy Soils Program Block Grant "provides free technical assistance and financial resources to farmers and ranchers interested in adopting climate-beneficial agricultural management practices.

The Healthy Soils Program works to support farmers and ranchers in implementing land management practices that improve soil health and biodiversity, sequester carbon, and reduce atmospheric greenhouse gasses. Through this program producers can apply to receive up to $200,000 of cost share grant funding for projects like hedgerow plantings, silvopasture, compost application, and cover cropping."

About This Site

We're still very much in our beginning phase, but have a small, growing team of volunteers gathering the latest developments and (re)discoveries that can help us all spend our time and energy more wisely, as the window to make a meaningful impact quickly draws shut.

Scientists have told us that the time to act is "now or never".

Fortunately our ancient ancestors already invented many solutions that were lost over time, but which are being rediscovered, or even improved upon by modern science. We also live in a point in human history when were have more scientists, engineers, and others collaborating with missions of solving water shortages, reducing emissions, and everything else we need to do to survive the unfolding crisis.

We believe that by gathering examples of and instructions for the many ancient and newly invented solutions into one place, we can help you be a part of the green revolution needed to save ourselves and the ecosystems that keep us all alive. We're working hard to help find things that you can do at home for little-to-no money. Things you can implement at home, work, or school, or that can be done at the civic level.

We don't accept donations or allow advertising, but we do mention and even show some products as examples of existing items/solutions. This generally isn't an endorsement of any specific product or design (though we have tried to stick with recipes and food brands we personally enjoyed), but rather intended as examples of what is currently possible and accessible around the world. Some may even be available in your area!
