Integrating Livestock for Enhancing Sustainability of Soil, Water and Agroecosystem: Implications from a One Health Perspective
Abstract: Livestock systems play a pivotal role in sustaining environmental health, enhancing ecosystem services, and supporting agricultural productivity. Well-managed integration of livestock into agroecosystems contributes to soil fertility through organic matter deposition, microbial stimulation, and nutrient cycling, while improving soil structure and long-term productivity. Grazing and pasture management regulate water infiltration, retention, and hydrological balance, mitigating soil erosion and enhancing water-use efficiency. Livestock also promote biodiversity by maintaining habitat heterogeneity, facilitating …
