Texto completoENGLISH ABSTRACT: The main aim of this case study was to research the impact of the introduction of oxen for draught power on Eric Swarts’ Stellenbosch farm. The research objectives were designed to find out if the oxen helped to improve the quality of the soil, to determine their cost-effectiveness (compared to a tractor) and other social and managerial constraints and benefits associated with using them and also to make recommendations for small-scale farmers in developing countries. The literature review revealed that human society faces many serious sustainability challenges from ecosystem degradation and global warming, to massive poverty and social inequality. The global population is growing against a background of decreasing agricultural productivity due to degraded soils and the increased costs of farming. The adoption of farming methods that enhance ecosystem services and depend less on external inputs is therefore essential. Animal traction is still widely used among small-scale farmers in developing countries, but lacks policy and investment support to make it more efficient. There are currently widespread negative opinions about animal traction which regard it as a backward or old-fashioned technology. This research investigated the possibility of animal traction emerging as an affordable, environmentallyfriendly and appropriate technology for small-scale farming. The research is a case study with a qualitative, ethnographic research design in which participant observation was key in gathering research data. A cost-benefit analysis (CBA) was carried out to compare the cost-effectiveness of using oxen to either hiring or buying a tractor. The findings showed that oxen were a more cost-effective means of draught power than a tractor, not only in terms of capital costs but also maintenance and operational costs. The manure from the oxen was both an effective way of supplying crops with essential nutrients and improving soil biodiversity. The introduction of the oxen presented some challenges to the farmer concerning knowledge about how animals work and other managerial challenges, but these were overcome by learning through practice. It was found that the farmer will be able to make significant savings in soil-amendment costs and he can control the quality of the manure to suit his needs. It was concluded that small-scale farmers who choose animal traction over tractors as a means of draught power will realise many advantages in return.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die hoof doelwit van dié gevallestudie was om die impak van die ingebruikneming van osse as trekkrag op Eric Swarts se plaas te Stellenbosch na te vors. Die navorsingsteikens was ontwerp om uit te vind of die beeste gehelp het om die kwaliteit van die grond te verbeter, om hul lonendheid vas te stel (in vergelyking met ’n trekker) asook ander sosiale en bestuursbeperkings en -voordele wat met hul gebruik geassosieer word en ook met voorstelle vir kleinskaalboere in ontwikkelende lande voorendag te kom. Die literatuuroorsig navorsing het ontbloot dat die menslike samelewing met vele volhoubaarheidsuitdagings vanaf ekosistemiese agteruitgang en aardverhitting, tot swaar armoedigheid en sosiale ongelykhede gekonfronteer word. Die wêreld bevolking groei steeds ten spyte van die afname in landboukundige produktiwiteit as gevolg van verlaagde grondkwaliteit en die toenemende landboukoste. Die ingebruikneming van landboumetodes wat ekosistemiese dienste verhoog en minder staatmaak op eksterne insette is dus noodsaaklik. Dieretrekking word steeds algemeen in ontwikkelende landebenut, maar dit ontbreek beleids- en beggingsondersteuning om dit meer doeltreffend te maak. Daar is tans algemeen verbreide negatiewe sienswyse oor dieretrekksag wat dit as agterlike en oudmodiese tegnologie beskou. Dié navorsing het ondersoek ingestel om die moontlikheid van dieretrekking as ’n bekostigbare, omgewingsvriendelike en passende tegnologie vir kleinskaalboerdery vas te stel. Die navorsing is’n gevallestudie met kwalitatiwe, etnografiese navorsingsontwerp waarin deelnemerwaarneming kern is tot die insameling van data. ’n Kostewinsteanalise (KWA) was uitgevoer om die lonenheid van beeste te vergelyk met dié van of die huur of die koop van ’n trekker. Die bevindings het getoon dat beeste ’n lonender wyse van trekkrag as trekkers is, nie net in terme van kapitale koste nie, maar ook onderhouds en bedryfskoste. Die beesmis was beide ’n doeltreffende manier om die gevasse van nodige voedingstowwe te voorsien asook om grondbiodiversiteit te verbeter. Die ingebruikneming van beeste het sekere uitdagings vir die boere ingehou in verband met die kennis van hoe diere werk en ander bestuursuitdagings, maar dié was oorkom deur onderrig uit ondervinding. Daar was bevind dat die boer beduidende besparings kan maak aan grondaanvullingskoste hierdie jaar en dat hy die kwaliteit van die beesmis kan beheer om sy behoeftes dien. Die slotsom is dat kleinskaalboere wat kies om dieretrekking eerder as trekkers as trekkrag te gebruik, sal vele voordele hê.

Texto completoThe debate about the development of Bronze Age cultures in the Emilia-Romagna region (Italy) is leading to a renewed attention for Romagna. Research has focused on the area between the Panaro River and the Adriatic Sea, corresponding to present-day Romagna and southeastern Emilia provinces. It was a strategic area, an actual socio-economic crossroads between terramare culture and the Grotta Nuova cultures of central Italy. This doctoral research led to the reconstruction of the management and exploitation systems of animal resources in Emilia-Romagna during the Bronze Age, with a particular focus on the definition of the environmental carrying capacity of the different regions and on their exploitation methods for a rationalization of farming practices. The processing chains of primary and secondary products have been studied in detail, in order to define the character of local paleoeconomies within the evolution of the Romagna during Bronze Age. The research is based on the complete zooarchaeological study of 13 sites recently investigated, located in the provinces of Bologna, Ferrara, Ravenna, Forlì / Cesena and Rimini, and on the comprehensive reappraisal of the archaeological evidence produced by previous studies. Analyses have not been limited to the identification of the different species, but have aimed to the identification and the evaluation of complex parameters, in order to reconstruct the killing strategies and the techniques of exploitation and slaughtering of the different animal groups. The research allowed the evaluation of the impact of herds and flocks on the local environments and the economic and ecological impact of a more systematic and rational farming, for both the spatial organization of the settlements and for the consequence on the management of agricultural and environmental resources.

Esta dissertação teve como cenário um momento bastante marcante da economia brasileira, especialmente no setor rural. O País vivendo sob uma política de estabilização inflacionária, calcada principalmente na estabilidade da moeda e do preço dos produtos agrícolas; e no processo de globalização, que abre as fronteiras para os produtos externos, prejudicando as exportações, em virtude do custo da moeda nacional, equiparada com o dólar norte-americano. Neste quadro, nem um pouco favorável a investimentos, duas empresas avícolas do Estado lançam-se num processo de expansão da produção, levando consigo centenas de pequenos proprietários rurais, localizados na região Sul e Grande Florianópolis, no Estado de Santa Catarina. O objeto desta pesquisa foi a relação contratual entre as partes, num processo que envolve, ainda, o setor público, nas três esferas de governo, sociedade civil, seja ela local ou regional, técnicos envolvidos, empresas de prestação de serviço, entre tantos agentes. Atenção especial foi dada aos componentes passivos da cadeia, verificando a preocupação com o manejo das aves, seja pela densidade ou automação dos galinheiros, ou os resultados que a atividade provoca ao meio-ambiente. Medidas de controle dos dejetos da atividade, como, por exemplo, o processo de compostagem de carcaças. O que pudemos verificar, no contato com os produtores a que tivemos acesso, é que a atividade passa a oferecer uma alternativa de renda às pequenas propriedades, envolvendo-os num mercado muito maior do que eles, que cresce proporcionalmente ao aumento da população. Do outro lado, o grau de exigências adotado pelas empresas, visando a contratação dos novos parceiros, varia em função das condições sócio-econômicas de cada região e das oscilações e perspectivas do mercado. Num enfoque que não se enquadra na pesquisa cartesiana e laboratorial, procuramos observar a atividade dentro de um contexto interdisciplinar, o que resultou numa "colcha de retalhos". Era o risco e o desafio que a pesquisa apresentava.

Texto completoThis research aims to unravel the many difficulties and problems that family farms in Galicia are facing in order to maintain their livelihood, which hinges on a combination of livestock farming and agriculture. This livelihood is at risk of disappearing, threatening the future of these farms. I try to understand the characteristics of these family farms and to unveil their place within a capitalist economy. To do this, this work explores the contradictions and ambiguities that emerge vis-à-vis the various spheres of relations wherein these farms operate (market, peasant or traditional economies), while paying particular attention to several contradictions around the economic relations that structure these Galician exploitations, which hamper their productive process to a point that, in many occasions, they are forced to close down. I examine two main issues in relation to these phenomena. On the one hand, there appears to be a dichotomy between market and society or market value and social value which, if explored in detail, seems to suggest that both elements are dynamic and encompass certain ambiguities and even some overlaps. This reveals that the actual practices of these farmers are more complex that it might seem at first sight. On the other hand, there is also a rather common feeling among members of these farms of “being trapped” (in a material, ideological and moral sense) between the market and the desire of a good life: a level of life that provides wellness and allows them to maintain their environment and lifestyle. In other words, a life that allows them to continue being farmers. There are two concepts that are central to my analysis of these different issues. The first one is the idea of sustainability and particularly the tensions between three relevant dimensions of sustainability: economic, social and environmental. These tensions render more complex and complicated the productive process of these farms and their resilience. The other key concept is the just price, which is the main demand of these farmers and the element that they consider centerpiece to subsist and maintain their livelihood; in other words, the key to the reproduction of their families and households and to having a decent life.
