Livestock production and forestry are key sources of income yet are carried out under harsh conditions such as limited land resources, marginal agricultural conditions, isolation, and scant equipment and infrastructure. Livestock is of particular importance in mountain production systems as they convert plant biomass into useful products for humans such as milk, meat and draught power. These products are key to the regions' sustainability. The main topics discussed in this book are: Human geography of Mediterranean mountain territories. Livestock production and natural resources. Improving the efficiency of livestock systems in Mediterranean mountain areas. Applications of new technologies for environmentally sound management of livestock and natural resources. The role livestock plays in rural development and in safeguarding natural resources.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface \t 1 Session 1: Human geography of Mediterranean mountain areas Theatre presentations\t5 Posters\t33 Session 2: Sustainable Utilization of Forest Areas Livestock Land Use and Landscape Sub-session 2.1: Sustainable utilisation of forest areas Theatre presentations\t47 Poster presentations\t99 Session 2: Sustainable utilization of forest areas livestock land use and landscape Session 2.2: Livestock, land use and landscape Theatre presentations\t151 Posters\t199 Session 3: Improving the efficiency of livestock systems in Mediterranean mountains Session 3.1: Dairy sheep systems \/ Dairy goats systems \/ Small ruminant meat systems Theatre presentations\t235 Posters\t279 Session 3: Improving the efficiency of livestock systems in Mediterranean mountains Session 3.2: Cattle, pigs and poulytry systems Theatre presentations\t395 Posters\t427 Session 4: Application of new technologies for environmentally sound management of livestock and natural resources in mountain areas Theatre presentations\t455 Posters\t 483 Session 5: Livestock as a fundamental factor for rural development and safeguard of natural resources in mountain areas Theatre presentations\t 505 Posters\t597","brand":"Wageningen Academic Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210934378839,"sku":"9789076998565","price":147.36,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/animal-production-and-natural-resources-utilisation-in-the-mediterranean-mountain-areas-9789076998565","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
