Summary

The Danish outdoor sow herds are efficient systems with low antibiotic usages and an important brand for Danish organic agriculture, but high risk of nutrient losses from the pastures challenge the production. A part of the solution is to implement trees in the paddocks, but inventive thinking regarding the paddock design and management is needed to increase the economic and environmental benefits of the trees.
