Small-scale milk production systems in Colombia: a regional analysis of a potential strategy for providing food security
Keywords:
cattle, milk, production systems, technological model.Abstract
Colombia tiene una diversidad agroecológica que favorece la implementación de sistemas de producción de leche. La producción lechera es una parte integral de la economía rural y contribuye positivamente a la nutrición e ingresos de las familias. El objetivo de este estudio fue clasificar los sistemas de producción de leche en la comunidad de El Peñón (Municipio de Sibate, Colombia), y analizar los resultados en relación con el concepto de seguridad alimentaria. El estudio evaluó componentes relacionados con los niveles y la administración del producto utilizando variables como (i) ubicación, aspectos biofísicos, uso y manejo de la tierra, (ii) recursos forrajeros y alimentación, (iii) recursos animales, (iv) reproducción y salud animal, (v) producción y comercialización de leche, y gestión comercial, (vi) mano de obra, infraestructura y equipo e (g) información del propietario. Se analizaron 18 granjas lecheras ubicadas en el área de estudio y, por lo tanto, se clasificaron mediante análisis de correspondencia múltiple y estudio descriptivo. La información se obtuvo de los sistemas de producción de leche mediante un cuestionario. El análisis de conglomerados nos permitió identificar modelos de producción heterogéneos debido a sus diversas condiciones de producción y los diferentes tamaños de unidades productivas. Los productores de leche fueron tipificados en 4 grupos como lácteos especializados (33%), lácteos semi-especializados (17%), lácteos a pequeña escala (28%) y granjas lecheras de propiedad familiar (22%). Los sistemas lácteos representan un potencial productivo para apoyar la seguridad alimentaria, especialmente los sistemas a pequeña escala. Por esta razón, es importante implementar modelos tecnológicos eficientes en sistemas lácteos a pequeña escala para contribuir a mejorar la seguridad alimentaria de la población.
