A workshop on Silvopastoral Systems in Livestock Management was conducted for some 20 livestock producers in Orange Walk District. Profesor Adan Velasquez, a Colombian expert in the area of livestock management, conducted the workshop. The workshop included a visit to a farm in the area where good practices in livestock management using silvopastoral systems are being used.

Livestock management has long been criticized because of the way trees are cleared to provide for pastures. With silvopastoral pasture management, livestock producers integrate trees and grazing livestock operations on the same land. These systems are managed to produce both forest products and forage for livestock, providing both short- and long-term income sources.
