Willow for Grazing

Are cows that eat willow better for the planet? A Queens University research project aims to find out if Willow can make farming more carbon neutral.

One aspect of Agroforestry uses trees as forage for livestock, and is gaining in popularity. Willow contain anti-parasitic compounds, they can be a great buffer around water sources, and have other great benefit to livestock and pasture. Do you graze Willow trees, or would you give it a try?
