“…In the “cow–biogas–vegetable” cycle mode, “pig–biogas–maize” cycle mode, “fruit (grass)–pig–biogas–cellar” five-support cycle modes, and similar others, biogas replaced coal for power generation, manure and biogas slurry replaced chemical fertilizers and by doing so, reducing dependency on external resources. In this mode, the proportion of feed cost for cattle and pigs was reduced respectively by 6.79% [ 25 , 39 , 40 ] and 22.47% [ 25 , 39 , 40 ], compared with the traditional farming mode. Each m 3 biogas digester could generate 477.82 kW·h, for an electricity cost of 0.52 RMB/kW·h; saving an electricity cost of 918.88 RMB [ 19 ].…”

“…In most cases, the net income and production-to-investment ratio of crop–livestock systems were higher than those of the traditional breeding and planting model. However, due to the impact of market price fluctuation on livestock products, the net income and input-output ratio of crop–livestock systems were also lower than those of traditional farming and animal husbandry cycle [ 40 ].…”

Agricultural straw waste and livestock manure are often misplaced resources. The separation of planting and breeding has induced significant pressure on the environment. Thus, there is a growing need for a system that can integrate crop and livestock farming to improve resource efficiency. To clarify the current state of crop–livestock systems in China and elsewhere, a bibliometric analysis was conducted for a total of 18,628 published English and 3460 published Chinese research articles and dissertations on circular agriculture. The published research papers were taken from the ISI Web of Science and CNKI database to explore research hotpots, research methods, theme trends, and mainstream technical models of crop–livestock systems from 1981 to 2021. Recent progress in crop–livestock systems was analyzed from ecological, economic, social benefits, and stakeholder perspectives. The research results showed that compared with traditional agricultural models, crop–livestock systems had far more ecologic and social benefits, including gaining higher net income and input-output ratio, improving soil quality, and mitigating global warming. The drivers of crop–livestock systems’ development were also analyzed from stakeholders’ perspectives. The study provides insights into the development of circular agriculture by reducing the pollution risks of agricultural waste and improving both ecological and economic benefits of the system.

“…Além disso, as técnicas de integração produtiva da pecuária com atividades agrícolas e silvícolas (i.e. Integração Lavoura-Pecuária-Floresta -ILPF) têm demonstrado que é possível recuperar pastagens degradadas e aumentar a produção de maneira sustentável (Cortner et al, 2019;Reis et al, 2021).…”

Resumo: O presente trabalho buscou analisar o nível da intensificação da pecuária nos anos de 2006 e 2017, nos quais estão disponibilizados os dados do Censo Agropecuário realizados pelo IBGE, no estado de Goiás – GO (Centro-Oeste). Utilizando técnicas de análise fatorial, aglomerados hierárquicos e não hierárquicos com base em dados do Censo Agropecuário, LAPIG/UFG e Agrodefesa – GO, foi possível gerar um índice de intensificação da pecuária para as atividades de corte e de leite. Os resultados indicam uma intensificação significativa da pecuária com aumento de 45% na taxa de lotação animal, além de aumento de 66% na suplementação animal e 49% de produtividade de leite por vaca. A pecuária é uma atividade setorizada, que se desenvolve de maneira mais intensa em zonas específicas. Além disso, a atividade leiteira possui um nível de intensificação superior à atividade de corte. Em 2006 foram classificados com alta intensificação 47 municípios para pecuária de corte e 104 municípios para pecuária leiteira. Já em 2017, o número de municípios com alta intensificação foram de 49 e 111, respectivamente.

“…As to specific product research on wheat, maize and milk, the emergy method typically has been used to analyze the efficiency of production [ 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 ]. When it comes to the study of a complicated system such as agriculture, emergy analysis can make valid links and better define relationships between the economy, environment, and land use [ 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 ].…”

Food consumption is the vital connection between human beings and natural resources. Our research explores the characteristics and drivers of food consumption patterns within Mongolian grasslands with a vulnerable ecology and environment. Food consumption data were obtained via a household questionnaire survey, and the emergy method was applied to analyze the food consumption characteristics in different grassland areas. This led to the following results: (1) The total per capita food consumption in different banners showed greater consumption and higher percentage of animal-based food in regions farther north. (2) From south to north, the main meat consumption in different banners varied, the predominant meat type consumed in Taibus was pork, that in Zhenglan was mutton, and that in West Ujimqin was beef. The farther north, the more fruits and vegetables were consumed. (3) The characteristics of food consumption in different areas were influenced by a series of factors, including social, economic, and ecological ones. Local food supply and disposable income were the main factors that had important effects on food consumption structure, as these two factors provided accessibility to foods for consumption.
