Towards BIOSmart livestock farming Colombia

项目摘要

Colombia is the second most biodiverse country in the world with a large rural population of small-holder, low income farmers. As the demand for meat and dairy increases, livestock farming continues to expand onto land that is not appropriate for farming, causing environmental damage through forest clearance, loss of biodiversity and land degradation. Different national initiatives aim to encourage more intensive and sustainable farming that support farmers' livelihoods and protect the environment and its rich biodiversity. Silvo-pastoral farming is one of those initiatives as it combines forestry and grazing. However due to cultural and social factors, in combination with possible economic and agronomic influences, uptake remains low and deforestation continues.This interdisciplinary project brings together cultural geography, behavioural economics and ecological expertise from both the UK and Colombia to investigate the cultural and socio-economic reasons for low adoption of silvo-pastoral livestock farming practices that can support livelihood and protect biodiversity. Through farmer interviews and focus groups and existing socio-economic data sets we will develop and test effective mechanisms through dissemination, farmer to farmer engagement and government policy that promote effective uptake and implementation of best practice. Furthermore we will undertake a large scale field trial and quantify the scale dependent benefits of silvo-pastoral practices and forest protection on biodiversity and ecosystem services to provide landscape scale policy relevant guidance on the optimal approaches to promote forest protection and silvo-pastoral implementation at the landscape scale, beyond just the individual farm.These approaches will help sustainably intensify livestock production whilst protecting forests and other natural areas in order to support economic development, biodiversity protection and social wellbeing in Colombia.

哥伦比亚是世界上第二个生物多样性最丰富的国家，拥有大量农村人口，其中包括小农户、低收入农民。随着肉类和乳制品需求的增加，畜牧业继续扩大到不适合耕种的土地上，通过砍伐森林、丧失生物多样性和土地退化造成环境破坏。不同的国家倡议旨在鼓励更集约化和可持续的耕作，以支持农民的生计，保护环境及其丰富的生物多样性。锡尔沃-牧业就是这些举措之一，因为它将林业和放牧结合在一起。然而，由于文化和社会因素，再加上可能的经济和农业影响，吸纳量仍然很低，森林砍伐仍在继续。这一跨学科项目汇集了英国和哥伦比亚的文化地理、行为经济学和生态专业知识，以调查低采用能够支持生计和保护生物多样性的森林-牧场畜牧业做法的文化和社会经济原因。通过农民访谈和焦点小组以及现有的社会经济数据集，我们将通过传播、农民对农民的参与和政府政策来开发和测试有效的机制，以促进有效地采用和实施最佳做法。此外，我们还将进行大规模的实地试验，量化森林畜牧业做法和森林保护对生物多样性和生态系统服务的规模依赖效益，为景观规模政策提供相关指导，以促进景观规模的森林保护和森林牧业实施，而不仅仅是单个农场。这些方法将有助于可持续地加强畜牧业生产，同时保护森林和其他自然地区，以支持哥伦比亚的经济发展、生物多样性保护和社会福祉。
