Un enfoque integral de la asistencia técnica para el cambio de uso del suelo en fincas ganaderas de Costa Rica

The GEF-CATIE Silvopastoril Project promotes the establishment of silvopastoral systems. This is done by means of the payment of incentives for environmental services and technical assistance. The participatory method was used to identify the problems, necessities for qualification and planning of land use and technical assitance. In Costa Rica, 137 cattle farms participated in the project, with an average area of 23.0 ha. The payment for environmental services to 107 farmers at an average of US 172.6 per farm has been granted. In this case we have seen changes from areas with degraded pastures to fodder banks, improved pastures, live fences and/or secondary forests.
