Imma just start throwing syntropic agroforestry and permaculture system ideas out.

Tropical Goat or sheep syntropic agroforestry system ideas in rows. Alleys 5-7meters. Managed with electric netting or geofence collars.

Trees started in air pruned boxes or grown by seed with placenta support species mixed in.

High/emergent strata: Eucalyptus, cedrela odorata, mahogany, teak, Cocoloba, coconut, algarrobo.

High, medium: avocado, sapodilla, mamey, guama, cacao, ackee, coconut, macadamia, caimito, about, mangosteen, soursop, mango.

Low: hibiscus, Surinam cherry, coffee, bananas, plantains.

Alley crops forage: hibiscus, Mombasa, clover, alfalfa, oats, Mexican sunflower.

Hibiscus is a rapid growing highly nutritious forage for goats and sheep. In combination with the Mombasa and other forage cover crops the ruminant diet would be complete. One would also be able to chop the grasses and dry for hay before going to seed to prevent senescence from entering the system.
