Technical-economic diagnosis and proposal at farm level for two family livestock producers in the northern territory of Santa Fe, Argentina.
The objective of this paper was to make diagnose of two small livestock farms in the north of the province of Santa Fe and propose and evaluate an intervention strategy using the case study methodology.
The analysed family production systems are vulnerable because the low perceived incomes can put their existence at risk by not allowing remuneration for family and salaried labour and the fulfilment of fi nancial obligation.
The proposal at farm level consists of incorporate a subtropical legume, dual purpose, which can increase the production gross value by the sale of seeds and by the improvement in livestock productivity.
