    The world population is increasing every year and is expected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050. Therefore, the demand for efficient practices in food production systems and pressure on ecosystems is increasing. In addition, traditional animal husbandry practices exacerbate the effects of climate stress due to intensive land use and greenhouse gas emissions associated with animal husbandry. At this point, sustainability efforts are gaining importance, and these practices are characterized by the reforestation of the cattle industry, raising animals in agroforestry, increasing biodiversity along afforestation, and ensuring animal welfare. In addition, afforestation fulfills natural forage needs, serves water management and soil conservation, and reduces climate disruption through carbon sequestration. This study’s main objective is to assess afforestation’s contribution to sustainability, greenhouse gas mitigation, and socio-economic development.
