Silvopasture is compatible with fruit, nut, and timber production. Grazing
can serve as a cost-effective vegetation and weed control method.
Silvopasture can also help reduce pests and disease in orchards - when
introduced into an orchard after harvest, livestock are able to consume
unharvested fruits, preventing pests and diseases from spreading via these
unharvested fruits and in some cases consuming the pests themselves


That means that the trees are used to produce for forestry products:

Or fruit.  Or nuts.  As per the Wikipedia article.

See Wikipedia article, and above quotation from it.  Silvopasture includes
