one of the lifestyle challenges with mixed crop and livestock farming is that the farmer will require more resources and tools to take care of both livestock and crops simultaneously. in some cases with the misuse and or overuse of fertilizer it can create runoff which is devastating to the environment because of their high nitrogen and phosphorus content. and the   U.S department of agriculture has stated that fertilizer runoff and other pollutants like pesticides are contaminating water supply, creating aquatic dead zones, and contributing to food borne illnesses.

Agropastoralists in Nigeria use the hoof action of livestock to prep land for the growing of small cereals. The concentration of cattle subsists on a small portion of cleared land where the next morning they broadcast the seed over the broken soil surface. In a similar fashion goats are allowed to satisfy their initial appetite on the pasture an then are put the cereal fields where they selectively eat the herbs, which weeds the crops.
