Location
Minas Gerais, Brazil
Year
2021/2022
A farm located in the Brazilian southwest, Plain Hill is currently used to raise cattle, produce milk and cheese, and animal feed. The owners requested the integration of trees and grazing livestock operations on the same land. The agroforestry systems are intensively planted, for both forest products and forage, providing both short- and long-term income sources. A study for diverting rainwater to a long system of swales feeding the cornfields is scheduled for 2025.
