Developing forage/livestock farming in cropping areas can help to enhance the integration, in both spatial and temporal dimensions, of forages into food and/or cash crop systems and thus to improve the use efficiency of agricultural resources. Currently the advantages of forages in cropping areas have not been well exploited mainly because of the traditional thinking of agricultural production and the government policies that favour food crops. In this article, the current status and future potential of forage industry development on croplands are analyzed and relevant policy recommendations are proposed.
