CARRERA, R; FIERRO, N; JIMENEZ, L  y  CAPA MORA, D. Good practices of sustainable livestock in the ecosystem of Páramo and Bosque Alto Andino, an alternative of resilience to climate change. FAVE. Secc. Cienc. agrar. [online]. 2021, vol.20, n.2, pp.7-19. ISSN 1666-7719.

The work addresses the experience of creating a training school in sustainable livestock farming, to train technicians and producers from public and private institutions and parish governments, who provide their services in the buffer zone of the Golden Heart Protective Forest (BPCO), southern Ecuador. The training process lasted from 2017 to 2019, addressing six modules of a theoretical-practical nature such as: Systemic analysis of the livestock landscape in the Páramo and Alto Andino Forest ecosystems in Ecuador, climate change and livestock, governance and incentives, advice to communities, silvopastoral management and sustainable livestock practices. The results obtained were the increase of good practices in livestock farming in the farms surrounding the BCPO, proper management and conservation of soils and water sources. Part of the feeding of the animals was supplemented, implementation of animal reproduction techniques, agroforestry and silvopastoral management, and application of tools and methodologies to carry out economic analyzes for the improvement of farms.
