Contenido: 	Silvopasture is an important alternative means of agricultural production in Uruguay. The amount of land in silvopasture systems has increased rapidly as the country has expanded its forest plantation land. Current knowledge about optimal practices and production levels, however, is limited. This project intends to perform a problem analysis of the possible research and extension needs and opportunities in Uruguay to enhance our knowledge about silvopastoral production systems and to identify subjects that could be studied in more detail in subsequent research. This problem analysis will attempt to collect and condense information that could lead to a better understanding of how silvopasture has developed and adapted to changing conditions in market forces, natural factors, and local as well as national policies. This information can foment more development of the sector in the future, and will serve as a knowledge base for farm producers, forestry professionals, and students.
