No, I hadn’t heard of it before and now that I do know about it I think the biggest advantage of silvopasture is the diversity of the crops that you can get from doing it.

REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth and EducationWhat did you learn about the need for family planning? How do the needs of different people in different places compare to each other?
Alesandro Castelblanco 4/05/2021 8:38 AMI learned that family planning is extremely important for a number of different reasons. It can help the economy, it can help climate change, and it will reduce the number of unintended pregnancies. In different countries, the needs might vary but as long as people learn about the right ways to prevent pregnancy and use contraception then family planning will be even more successful.
