Resumen
BUITRAGO-GUILLEN, María Eugenia; OSPINA-DAZA, Luis Alejandro y NARVAEZ-SOLARTE, William. SILVOPASTORAL SYSTEMS: AN ALTERNATIVE IN THE MITIGATION AND ADAPTATION OF BOVINE PRODUCTION TO CLIMATE CHANGE. Bol. Cient. Mus. Hist. Nat. Univ. Caldas [online]. 2018, vol.22, n.1, pp.31-42. ISSN 0123-3068. https://doi.org/10.17151/bccm.2018.22.1.2.
The deterioration of natural resources and global warming generated by the increased concentration of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere have put life as we know it at risk. Livestock production and, to a greater extent, cattle production contribute to the socio-economic stability of the countries and the quality of life of thousands of people.
Objective:
Base the current position of the bovine production as a global pollutant activity, as it generates carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) through enteric fermentation, manure production and deforestation carried out for its spread which contribute to climate change (CC). Also, analyze the arguments that show the livestock industry as an opportunity to mitigate and adapt to the CC through the application of sustainable production strategies.
Methodology:
A literature review was carried out. Conclusion: The most relevant strategy in adapting to and mitigating the effects of CC from bovine production is the increase of animal productivity that makes efficient use of natural resources, and silvopastoral systems (SPSs) become the fundamental tool for achieving this purpose.
