对于世界范围内的养牛生产的社会经济和环境的重要性，我们确定了起源，进化和可持续发展的认识论观点及其在畜牧农业生态系统中的应用。在这种情况下，这一概念已被经验处理使用四个主题，这不是排他性的，但我们认为他们是相关的农业可持续性：新经济，生态环境，社会人类学，技术生物学，这已经受到两个强大的科学传统，伽利略和伽利略的影响。我们的结论是，虽然学科寻求采用系统的方法在他们的研究可持续发展，他们是由还原论和认识论的影响。从这个意义上说，我们认为技术生物的角度来看，它与农业生态学的方法，作为最好的角度，将有助于可持续的畜牧农业生态系统的设计和发展，此外，当它的研究超越其应用程序的地块或字段的农业生态系统或粮食系统规模。
For the socioeconomic and environmental importance of cattle production worldwide, we identify the origin, evolution, and epistemological perspectives of sustainability and its application in livestock agroecosystems. In this context, the concept has been empirically addressed using four themes, which are not exclusive but we consider they are relevant to agricultural sustainability: neo-economical, ecological-environmental, socio-anthropological, and technical-biological, which have been influenced by two strong scientific traditions, Aristotelian and Galilean. We conclude that although academic disciplines seek to adopt systemic approaches in their studies of sustainability, they are driven by reductionist and epistemological influences. In this sense, we consider the technical-biological perspective, which operates with an agroecological approach, as the best perspective that will contribute to the design and the development of sustainable livestock agroecosystems and, in addition, when its studies transcend to its application on plot or field to an agroecosystem or food system scale.
