We describe and compare actual farm practices and current research trials of silvopastoral systems in eight regions within seven countries of the world: Misiones and Corrientes provinces, Argentina; La Pampa province, Argentina; northwestern Minas Gerais, Brazil; the Ayse´n region of Patagonia, Chile; the North Island of New Zealand; the Southeast United States; Paraguay; and Uruguay. Some countries use native trees and existing forests; some use plantations, particularly of exotic species. Natural forest silvopasture systems generally add livestock in extensive systems, to capture the benefits of shade, forage, and income diversification without much added inputs. Plantation forest systems are more purposive and intensive, with more focus on joint production and profits, for small owners, large ranches, and timber companies. Trends suggest that more active management of both natural and planted silvopastoral systems will be required to enhance joint production of timber and livestock, achieve income diversification and reduce financial risk, makemore profit, improve environmental benefits, and realize more resilience to adapt to climate change.  aSILVOPASTOREO  aADOPTION  aNEW ZEALAND  aSILVOPASTORAL SYSTEMS  aSILVOPASTURE  aSOUTH AMERICA  aUSA1 aBALMELLI, G.1 aBUSSONI, A.1 aNOELLEMEYER, E.1 aPACHAS, A.N.1 aFASSOLA, H.1 aCOLCOMBET, L.1 aROSSNER, B.1 aFREY, G.1 aDUBE, F.1 aLOPES DE SILVA, M.1 aSTEVENSON, H.1 aHAMILTON, J.1 aHUBBARD, W.  tAgroforest Systems, 2012gv. 86, p. 303-314
