La Experiencia de la Embrapa Florestas
2000Also available in:
No results found.En este trabajo se presentan las actividades de investigación en Sistemas Silvopastoriles (SSP’s) desarrolladas por la Embrapa Florestas, particularmente en la región Sur de Brasil. Inicialmente las investigaciones realizadas tuvieron como procedimiento básico: 1) la introducción del aprovechamiento de pasturas durante el desarrollo de plantaciones forestales, donde la especie forestal era considerada el componente principal del sistema y, 2) la introducción de árboles en pasturas, dándose prior idad a las especies herbáceas forrajeras. Posteriormente, ha evolucionado hacia la actividad pecuaria, representando un potencial para la introducción del componente arbóreo como elemento de producción y de protección (arborización de pasturas). También se relatan estudios relacionados con la indicación de especies forestales nativas y exóticas de uso múltiple, utilizadas o recomendadas para SSP’s. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookSoil erosion: the greatest challenge for sustainable soil management 2019
Also available in:
Despite almost a century of research and extension efforts, soil erosion by water, wind and tillage continues to be the greatest threat to soil health and soil ecosystem services in many regions of the world. Our understanding of the physical processes of erosion and the controls on those processes has been firmly established. Nevertheless, some elements remain controversial. It is often these controversial questions that hamper efforts to implement sound erosion control measures in many areas of the world. This book, released in the framework of the Global Symposium on Soil Erosion (15-17 May 2019) reviews the state-of-the-art information related to all topics related to soil erosion. -
Book (stand-alone)High-profileStatus of the World's Soil Resources: Main Report 2015
Also available in:
No results found.The SWSR is a reference document on the status of global soil resources that provides regional assessments of soil change. The information is based on peer-reviewed scientific literature, complemented with expert knowledge and project outputs. It provides a description and a ranking of ten major soil threats that endanger ecosystem functions, goods and services globally and in each region separately. Additionally, it describes direct and indirect pressures on soils and ways and means to combat s oil degradation. The report contains a Synthesis report for policy makers that summarizes its findings, conclusions and recommendations.The full report has been divided into sections and individual chapters for ease of downloading:

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookDairy developments' impact on poverty reduction 2018
Also available in:
No results found.In 2015 the 193 Member States of the United Nations adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which aim to end poverty (SDG1) and hunger (SDG2) while restoring and sustainably managing natural resources. Given the importance of livestock in poor people’s livelihoods, livestock sector development, and particularly the development of the dairy sector, is regarded as a promising avenue for supporting the achievement of SDG1. To underpin the case for dairy development as an avenue for poverty reduction, this study assessed the evidence for a causal relationship between dairy development and poverty reduction / improved household welfare. This study found that dairy cow ownership and/or improvement of dairy cow production consistently had a substantial positive and nearly always statistically significant impact on a wide range of indicators. The research sampled in this study was consistent in it’s agreement that engagement in dairying was the cause rather than the result of higher household welfare.
