Agroecology, which emphasizes sustainable agricultural practices, has gained attention for its potential to enhance the economic viability of mixed crop-livestock systems, especially under varying climate scenarios. This evaluation focuses on the integration of agroecological practices and their economic implications.
Agroecological systems are more resilient to climate variability due to their biodiversity and sustainable practices. Studies indicate that farms with higher biodiversity can better withstand extreme weather events, thus ensuring food security (Altieri et al. 2015).
To evaluate the economic viability of integrating agroecological practices, several factors must be considered:
Integrating agroecological practices in mixed crop-livestock systems presents a viable economic opportunity, particularly when supported by appropriate policies and market access. The resilience of these systems to climate change further enhances their attractiveness as a sustainable agricultural model.
