• Conservation agriculture in African mixed crop-livestock systems: Expanding the niche (2014, background): “Due to the multiple benefits livestock generates (Schiere et al., 2002; Powell et al., 2004; Rufino et al., 2006; Herrero et al., 2010; McDermott et al., 2010), mixed crop-livestock African farmers generally feed the bulk of their crop residues to livestock and sacrifice on soil mulching i.”

• The top 100 questions of importance to the future of global agriculture (2010, background): “Livestock Livestock provide a valuable source of food (CAST, 2001) and play important agricultural and cultural roles in societies worldwide (Sansoucy, 1995; Schiere et al., 2002; FAO, 2009d).”
• Reconsidering Integrated Crop-Livestock Systems in North America (2007, background): “The program would require: (i) in-depth analysis to determine what combination of crops, livestock, and inputs to test (Schiere et al., 2002); (ii) large research and extension teams to examine various aspects of system performance; (iii) patience on the part of researchers and funding entities to…”
• A social-ecological framework for analyzing and designing integrated crop–livestock systems from farm to territory levels (2016, background): “In many regions of developed countries where crops are grown, prevalence of livestock systems generally declined due to this specialization process (Schiere et al., 2002; Russelle et al., 2007; Wilkins, 2008).”
