This chapter discusses how the implementation of ICLF represents a paradigm shift and a breakthrough in tropical agriculture. The influence of integrated systems on soil health (SH) translates into higher crop yields and better animal performance and welfare. The presence of animals and trees, along with different deep-rooted forage grasses and cash crops, raises the quantity and quality of residues entering the system, with significant impact on SH. Nutrient cycling refers to the numerous transformations nutrients undergo in the soil-plant-atmosphere system. ICLF systems promote animal welfare and constitute an important strategy to offset greenhouse gas emissions. Brazilian investments in ICLF systems represent a direct contribution to advances in the pursuit of agricultural sustainability, represented by higher farmers' income, productivity gains, and optimized use of natural resources, with particular emphasis on SH.
