Dual-purpose cattle production in Guatemala: a case study
The purpose of this paper is to present the results of a study on the development of dual-purpose cattle production systems in Guatemala, with particular reference to the impact of policies on the adoption of livestock production technologies. This study was undertaken by the Latin American Research Network for Animal Production Systems (RISPAL) with the support of the International Development Research Centre (IDRC). This study analuyzes the influence of the macroeconomic framework on dual-purpose cattle production and on the farm system. It also analyzes the interactions between policies reflecting national and institutional objectives and existing production systems, in order to optimize the use of available resources in research, validation and dissemination of animal production technology
