Italian term or phrase: attivita' agro-silvo pastorali
Would you use the term "agro-silvo" in the translation (I've seen it in forestry articles) or translate it as "agricultural/forestry related"? Any suggestions? thanks

Explanation:
I think the term is quite widespread, especially in the USA. I've found plenty of results. And especially there are several academic articles that use that expression.

Explanation:
IMHO "agro-silvo-pastoral" would be fine for academic or specialist texts but not for public consumption, journalism etc.
