Global Network on Silvopastoral SystemsJulián Chará
Promote the strengthening and scaling up of SPS, wherever there aretechnical, economic, environmental, and cultural options forsupporting livelihoods and business activities with sustainablelivestock farming, specifically through the generation, exchange anddissemination of knowledge, the documentation of public policies incountries and/or sub-regions, and the facilitation of dialogue toaddress the challenges associated with Sustainable DevelopmentGoals.
GNSPS Objectives
• Identify the relevant stakeholders and initiatives in silvopastoral systems at global level and the areas where there are demands for knowledge, advice or information about silvopastoral processes.
• Serve as a neutral forum to facilitate the exchange between strategic stakeholders in the silvopastoral field including lead producers, private companies, public policy makers, scientists and communicators to stimulate the local practice change in silvopastoral systems.
• Serve as a multi-stakeholder platform to find consensus in the methodologies of evaluation, transfer of information and development of policies to promote the scaling up of silvopastoral systems.

Contribution to COP23 and the GFFA
Global Network on Silvopastoral SystemsJulián Chará
• Methods and approaches for assessing adaptation, adaptation co-benefits and resilience.
• Improved soil carbon, soil health and soil fertility under grassland.• Improved livestock management systems.• to reduce livestock’s greenhouse-gas emissions by making livestock production
systems more efficient, while also meeting animal health and animal welfare requirements.
• to promote and support international research collaboration on reducing the intensity of GHG emissions from livestock production systems, including by pasture restoration and soil carbon sequestration.
