Strategies leading to successful wide adoption of mixed grass-legume pastures for sustainable intensification of beef cattle production systems in the Brazilian Amazon.

Here we describe and analyze an innovation framework implemented by Embrapa over the last 40 years to promote wide adoption of forage legume technologies for intensification of cattle production systems in the western Brazilian Amazon. We focus on assessing the importance of key adoption factors for the successful use of tropical kudzu and forage peanut in mixed grass-legume pastures in the state of Acre.
