As for the hyphen, again FAO recommended word list says:

agro- compounds closed up except before vowel, e.g. agro-ecology, agro-ecosystem, agro-industry, agroforestry, agrometeorology, agrosilvicultural, agrosilvipastoral
http://www.fao.org/docrep/004/ac339e/AC339E02.htm

This reference also adds a variation to my suggestions as "silvi" instead "silvo".
Peer comment(s):

agree lexical : This sounds quite good to me though I'm surprised at the ungainly portmanteau word. I was only concerned to explain the 'silvo' part to Constanza.

Thanks, lexical. To be honest, I was suprised too, as I was searching for agroforestry and found all these (good) references. Learned some more today! :)

mixed arable/forestry/pastoral agriculture

The 'silvo' part is the prefix meaning 'to do with forests/woodlands' from the Latin sylvus = a wood. Also cf. the Portuguese silvicultura = commercial forestry.
Note from asker:
Thank you for the explanation lexical!

agro-sylvio-pastoral

I think it's important to hyphenate it, because it shows that distinct areas are being combined (and "sylvo" with a Y in English). 865 refs for "agro-sylvo-pastoral":
