This training document provides technical facilitators and producers with the tools to develop experimental training in agroecological silvopastoral systems and to sensitize producers in the recognition of the importance of trees and shrub species as integral component of the silvopastoral system. Diagnostic tools are combined with group dynamics, ballot box, fruit salad and plenary discussions, among others, to familiarize participants with the different silvopastoral models and to define main tree and shrub species in the region. Various special topics are presented in a technical manner and include leading questions and group activities on themes on learning to manage regrowth times between herbaceous and shrub species, the propagation of forest and shrub and forb species, knowing the different ways of obtaining seeds, seed collection, identifying the different ways to propagate forage and forest plant material, potentiate the establishment of silvopastoral systems through the existing material on the farms and offering other types of forage to improve nutritional conditions and animal welfare.
