BERMUDEZ, Charles E.; ARENAS, Nelson E. e MORENO MELO, Vilma. CHARACTERIZATION OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL FEATURES IN SMALL AND MEDIUM LIVESTOCK FARMERS IN THE COLOMBIAN SUMAPAZ REGION. rev.udcaactual.divulg.cient. [online]. 2017, vol.20, n.1, pp.199-208. ISSN 0123-4226.
Livestock community from the Sumapaz region are in a transition period towards to technical production. Thus, our aim was to assess the mean requirements which delay implementation of good farming practices. This study, involved small and medium livestock farmers from the Sumapaz region through a random test applied in nine municipalities from the province. Results showed socioeconomic barriers which limited the technology transfer for improvement in production such as low income, restricted access to university education and lack of productive and sanitary records. However, we observed positive outcomes with regard to environmental management which is characteristic as their cultural heritage.
