Research suggests silvopasture far outpaces any grassland technique for counteracting the methane emissions of livestock and storing carbon under-hoof. Pastures strewn or crisscrossed with trees contain five to ten times as much carbon as those of the same size that are treeless, storing it in both biomass and soil. Silvopasture often runs counter to farming norms and can be costly and slow to implement. Peer-to-peer education has proven effective for spreading it. As the impacts of global warming progress, appeal will likely grow because silvopasture can help farmers and their livestock adapt to erratic weather and increased drought. That is the climatic win-win of this solution: Silvopasture averts and stores emissions while protecting against changes that are now inevitable. According to the texts, which solution … means going back to a traditional method? 0 deals with problems caused by some modern technology? 1 reduces the release of especially damaging gases? 2 requires different actions depending on the wealth of the area? 3 needs a long time to become widely adopted? 4 5 leads to a smaller number of people living on the planet? 6 is a powerful way for everyone to make a difference? 7 can help to feed more people at the same time? 8 also makes it easier for people to cope with the effects of climate change? 9 10 Nur zu Prüfzwecken – Eigentum des Verlags öbv
