Thank you for that video that you made. I really appreciate the work that you are doing. We live in the state of Pará and are working with the same goals in mind.
You need more biodiversity... more varieties of trees, animals.- like pigs following cows and then chickens. The more diverse the more resilient. God bless
Silvopasture? You call that monoculture a forest? Where's the increased biodiversity in that! Your system needs a whole lot more improvement Daniel. Heading in the right direction with rotational grazing though, but needs much more!
Bingo. Great comment. This is not biodiversity. The producers of this video know this is a lie. You can say this is a great transition from traditional cattle fields -- but this is definitely a huge desecration and step backwards from the biodiverse rainforests, home to a plethora of other life , many which are critically endangered.
@@sweetpeashostel7906 he's not trying to create a rainforest...... why would he? also thousands of species go extinct every day naturally, irrelevant of mans intervention, God put us here to subdue the earth and everything in it, if feeding people means a few more bugs and monkeys go extinct, i'm not too worried, while i personally am a big fan of permaculture, the only way i can really see our food dependency not being on industrial scale farming, is going back to people having a few acres worth of land and growing most of their own food, and doing it preferably in a permacultural way, which isn't the way seemingly that many people want to live anymore, unfortunate as that is.
If he is doing this on pre-cleared land I think that it is a step in the right direction. But he'd probably wind up more profitable with a greater variety of trees and crops.
Monoculture is not a forest or an ecosystem. You need way more biodiversity for animals to survive there. Please look at what Mark Shepherd is doing in Florida. You have a good start, but have not seen the whole picture.
This is an important step in the right way. It is not perfect yet but , soon enough we will be seeing agroflorestry integrating silvopasture and the monoculture problem will be solved.
Cutting native trees, to plant eucaliptus + grass+ cattle aint a way to replace the forest. It's good that co2 is captured, but there are other variables like diversity that have to be considered. Research for other (hopefuly native) plants that can feed the cattle (I've heard mexican sunflower tytonia is very rich in protein), and then ad it to the grass. Also other trees species that are native, not just eucaliptus.
El monocultivo no es un bosque ni un ecosistema. Se necesita mucha más biodiversidad para que los animales sobrevivan allí. Mire lo que está haciendo Mark Shepherd en Florida. Has tenido un buen comienzo, pero no has visto el panorama completo.
I don't understand why they mow down the whole forest to plant a mono culture of trees. Why don't they just thin the forests out and leave all the biodiversity??
@@phils6582 I'm not sure from the pictures. I do hope that they can promote silvopasture on pre-cleared land. There is a great book called "Growing a Revolution" that talks about tropical soils and how fragile they are. Having crops and trees together in the tropics is really helpful for keeping topsoil from being swept away. Also, with no-till agriculture, the fertility of the soil can be vastly improved. Most of the research written about in the book wrt cattle and soil is on North American soils and climates, and I'm not sure how it would be applied in Brazil. Highly recommend the book though: www.amazon.com/Growing-Revolution-Bringing-Soil-Back/dp/0393356094/
Thinning out a rainforest probably also wrecks most of the biodiversity. The remaining intact tropical rainforests should not be touched, but silvopasture can be implemented on already converted land.
Nonsense. Thinning can often help things and when regarding the amazon it should be noted that large swathes were planted by man and contain far more edible species than is natural.
You can’t blame the farmers for the problems associated with farming. That’s just plain ignorant. It’s the big corporations running it all. With the government helping them to do it. At least in America anyway.
There are a lot of farmers in the U.S. trying to change things, but you are right, the government and big agro/big agro-chem are definitely against them. Highly recommend the book, "Growing a Revolution."
Big corporations aren't running it all. *Regenerative agriculture* is taking off all over the world as people realize it's better for the soil, better for the plants, better for the animals, better for the farmers, better for the people, and better for the planet.
Yes you can. You can also blame soldiers who fought in unjust wars and police who enforce unjust laws. Just doing you job is a huge problem. Don't be a sucker and don't be a tool
Wow, awesome video and some great education. I envy you living in that beautiful environment. You have a super dad like I did. Mine was a dairyman in California. Too many people and the politicians have ruined it. Amazing looking cattle.
I’m sorry, but, how Many types of food you produce for the world? Billions of people need be feed every day, with pigs e chickens running in the soy and corn, this will not be possible, it’s like a plague for the production. I love the concept of ecological diversity and it’s important in many ways, but it’s not a good way to produce food in large scale.
This video is just big agribusiness greenwashing. Yes, agroforestry practices can be great. But this is happening on cleared rainforest. Stopping the deforestation of remaining intact parts of the Amazon and other valuable natural habitats is the only really important thing Brazil can do. They don't need to "feed the world", most countries can feed themselves. Brazil is a big exporter of food because it's profitable, and it's happening with unjustifiable negative consequences on local ecosystems.
Stop saying sh*t.......Mind about your own country. Here in Brazil we know what we have to do. Most of agriculture and cattle in Brazil are produced in west- middle and south of Brazil... it´s far from Amazon... but even if we want to plant there... it´s not your business... it´s our own country!!! American right? I think you are.
@@fabyn1633 Preserving the Amazon is of global importance, it's not just a national issue for the countries where it happens to be. Not american. The problem isn't that most cattle are in the Amazon (they aren't), but that the government allows and encourages expansion into it at all.
Consider installing a Screech Owl nest box. Owls eat rodents which host ticks and attract pit vipers. Owls eat a lot of the same prey as Coyote and Bobcat.
Cows properly managed are a net negative of co2 (and methane as well,contrary to bill gates type) even in just a grass based system. Adding trees is not needed to achieve this. Does increase diversity though and can help generate and maintain a micro climate.
In areas with hot summers it's pretty much necessary for shade of the grass and livestock. Otherwise they all group around that one tree on the pasture and scorch everything around it. Agreed otherwise though, people don't realize that all of that carbon coming off the animal came from the plants, which came from the atmosphere... it's a cycle, but people are ignorant and prefer emotions over facts.
And yet it's not. I don't see much diversity for the cows to eat here. It's healthier for the animals to have grass-covered land to munch on although an occasional tree for shade isn't a bad idea. It sounds like they're also trying to grow lumber, however. I just hope they didn't have to rip out rainforest to do so.
why are people so worried about carbon? they must not know about the carbon cicle where the autotrophs organisms catch the carbon and then the heterotrophs release it.
Seriously? What is it about humans burning fossil fuels, carbon that took MILLIONS and MILLIONS of years to sequester, and releasing it all into the atmosphere in a just a few hundreds of years, that you don't understand? Everyone understands the carbon cycle. But it appears you don't understand that the world's problem is that we have an excess of carbon being released into the atmosphere. In addition, we are also destroying trees that could help deal with the excess carbon. You really should educate yourself more before making such ignorant remarks.
If you think oil is a fossil fuel you should look into how John d rockefeller payed off the scientists at a UN summit to categorise it that way. Also people in glass houses....
They used to say an ice age was coming, then they said global warming, and now its climate change. Its all bs and the real problem is geoengineering. If you aren't familiar with phrase then look it up, because that is what is causing the weather events

At least the wood produced will fulfil the demand for timber, and we would not have to cut the biodiverse, natural rain forests anymore.

Why not more tree species? What about pigs and chicken too? It would be better to have more variety.
your eyelashes are very prettty
Three types of monoculture is better than two, but this is still an ecologically devastated piece of land.
