Horti Silvi Pastoral System
The Horti-Silvi-Pastoral system is a specific type of agroforestry that sustainably integrates three different land-use components on the same piece of land.
The name breaks down the components:
Horti (Horticulture): Involves the cultivation of fruit trees, vegetables, or ornamental plants (e.g., in orchards).
Silvi (Silviculture): Involves the growing and management of forest trees, which can provide timber, fuel, fodder, and improve soil health.
Pastoral (Pasture/Livestock): Involves the management of grasses and legumes (pasture/forage) and the grazing of livestock (like cattle, sheep, or goats).
