Identification of beef production farms in the Pampas and Campos area that stand out in economic and environmental performance by Modernel, Pablo, Dogliotti, Santiago, Alvarez, Stéphanie, Corbeels, Marc, Picasso, Valentin, Tittonell, Pablo Adrian, Rossing, Walter A.H.

“…Low levels of meat productivity and farm income, however, trigger replacement of native grasslands by crops and leys and threaten the survival of local beef farming systems. We studied the economic and environmental performance of beef farming in the region based on interviews and field measurements on 280 case study farms with the following aims: (a) to identify the multi-functional economic and environmental performance of beef farms across the Rio de la Plata grasslands biome; (b) to identify farms with ‘outstanding’ multi-functional performance; (c) to compare performance levels with those found in other regions; and (d) to discuss the implications of the outstanding farms for the development of new systems of meat production. …”
