Summary
This conference paper, presented as part of a session on sustainable rural futures, examines the interconnections between pastoral farming livelihoods, environmental pressures, and agro-extractivist practices among campesino communities in the Boyacá páramo ecosystem of Colombia. The work appears to address tensions between livelihood security and environmental conservation in high-altitude pastoral systems, though the specific findings and recommendations require access to the full text.
UK applicability
Limited direct applicability to UK farming systems, given the distinct ecology and socio-economic context of Andean páramo pastoralism. However, findings on livelihood-environment trade-offs and smallholder pastoral sustainability may inform UK policy discussions on upland farming support and environmental stewardship in marginal areas.
Key measures
Not specified in available metadata; likely qualitative assessment of livelihood-environment trade-offs and pastoral management practices.
Outcomes reported
As suggested by the title, the paper explores tensions between livelihood strategies and environmental conservation in campesino pastoral farming communities of the Boyacá páramos, examining agro-extractivist practices and their sustainability implications.
