Animal agriculture encompasses the raising of livestock for food, fiber, and other products, and is deeply intertwined with plant science through the crops grown to feed animals and the land management practices that sustain both. The feed crops, pasture systems, and forage plants that underpin livestock production drive significant research into plant nutrition, yield optimization, and sustainable cultivation. Understanding these plant-animal agricultural systems is essential for developing resilient food systems that balance soil health, resource efficiency, and productivity.
