Crop-livestock integration can be defined as a production system that alternates between In the same area, the cultivation of crops intended for crop production, especially grains and annual or perennial, and to animal production. The objective of this paper was to carry out a review of literature on crop-livestock integration and its benefits for Brazilian agriculture. This system has emerged as an alternative for the recovery of degraded pastures as well as for crop management, improving soil conservation, plant control weeds and disease management.

Being considered as a production system, in which several factors biological, economic and social relationships are interrelated and determine their sustainability. THE crop-livestock integration is an important management alternative for the agricultural sector since it allows rational and intelligent use of agricultural inputs, it minimizes environmental impacts arising from monoculture, besides diversifying agricultural production adding value and mitigating the effects of seasonality on agricultural activity, thus In this way, it can contribute to the sustainability of agricultural rather broad, through biological and financial benefits to the system.
