Dans les 20 dernières années, l'exploitation des ressources naturelles du “dehesa” (la région boisée de la Méditerranée) située au sud-ouest de la Péninsule Ibérique, a changé d'un système économique de subsistance (la production de bétail de famille, le bois de chauffage, le charbon de bois, la chasse, etc.) à un système intégré visant le bénéfice économique. La grande source de richesse du “dehesa” est basée la production annuelle généreuse de fruits (des glands de chêne) dans un écosystème caractérisé par un sol pauvre et une pluviométrie faible. En raison de la composition en lipides, avec d’hautes pourcentages d'acides gras mono-nonsaturés, les glands sont le régime d'alimentation parfait pour des animaux abattus aux hauts poids et orientés pour élaborer les produits de grande qualité. La large présence de forêt de Chêne au nord de l'Afrique, avec les mêmes caractéristiques que la forêt de “dehesa” ibérien, peut être une bonne raison pour mettre en oeuvre des programmes de collaboration entre des régions géographiques à potentiel comparable. Le but final de ces programmes doit être d améliorer le niveau de revenu de la population rurale et forestière.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>3</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mata, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Caballero, I</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Labrador, J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Casco, J M G</style></author></authors><secondary-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Flamant, JC and Gabina, D and Diaz, M E</style></author></secondary-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ecological food production from animal origin in the dehesa agrosystem of Andalucia and Extremadura</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BASIS OF THE QUALITY OF TYPICAL MEDITERRANEAN ANIMAL PRODUCTS</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">animal ecological production</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dehesa</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1998</style></year></dates><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">WAGENINGEN ACADEMIC PUBLISHERS</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">POSTBUS 220, 6700 AE WAGENINGEN, NETHERLANDS</style></pub-location><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">87-90</style></pages><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">90-74134-53-X</style></isbn><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Andalucia and Extremadura gather certain advantages and conditions for the development of ecological stockbreeding which place them among the European territories of greatest potential in this sense. There are wide areas of high environmental balance, some of them declared as Natural Protected Areas-, with soils of only forestal and silvopastoral use, and with a lot of farms used for the traditional extensive stockbreeding. In this area the management is close to the ecological stockbreeding, and the location coincides with the one of dehesa farms. Most of these farms suffer problems derived from the pressure to which they are subjected because of a management towards greater intensification. Their functions are not valued properly. Many times their products are not competitive with the usual market prices. Being, however of greater organoleptic, sanitary, environmental quality and being even greater, their possibility of profitability. The conversion of extensive stockbreeding farms into a type of ecological production may provide solutions to these problems, favouring a consolidated development; and at the same time, it may encourage an action integrated with other agrarian farms, producing sites of pluriactivity and much more profitability. This work shows a description of the most relevant aspects of extensive stockbreeding productions in relation to its conversion into the ecological production.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
