Livestock farming is a crucial component of modern agroecosystems, helping ensure sustainability. It not only serves food production but also works as a means of biodiversity conservation. Many rural families sustain their livelihoods through subsistence agriculture, where pastoralism and husbandry are their main sources of income. Livestock manure increases soil fertility and plays a role in the carbon sequestration process, maintaining environmental balance.
Currently, due to commodification and commercialization, macroeconomic importance has increased, enhancing the country's viability and economic stability. When forage production and animal feed supply improve, efficacy increases.
However, unplanned livestock farming can increase deposition and soil erosion along with demographic changes. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain autarky while bolstering, so that it can become a catalyst for long-term development.
