description: The kvorld's livestock production systems are divided into  3 broad categories, based on the degree of integration with  crops and land -- grazing systems, mixed crop-livestock  hrming systenls (MCLS) and industrial systems or landless  systems (Sere and Stienfield 1996). Historically, at low  population densities and land abundant scenario, crop and  animal production are extensive/specialized and hence, croplivestock  interaction is weak. However, as population density  incrr:~ses, there is increasing pressure on cropland, with  fallow and pastureland increasingly brought under  cultivation. This, in turn, raises farmers' dependence on cropresidues.  den~ar~fdor manure and animal traction. There is  thus n ~~~too\vvacrd s crop-livestock interaction, where crops  and animals are integrated on the same farms (McIntire er  111. 1992)...
