Ensuring food security in rural areas
Thinking of a production market that grows at all levels, and with a broad sense that the Buffalo is a multipurpose bovine capable of adapting to a wide variety of environments and transform plants of low nutritional value into meat and milk of the highest quality, knowingly That the Buffalo is called to lead a true revolution.
A producer could self-sustain a small herd with excellent economic results and represents high economic profitability especially in unfavorable environments, where not even a Creole or rustic bovine would survive Guaranteeing the Food Security to these producers, also supplying to the families a place Where to grow the products they require for their maintenance, generates work, family labor and avoids the exodus of peasants and their children to the city.
This is where a home would have meat and milk of higher value in proteins and fats. The Buffalo, a market that is growing little by little, livestock production is a factor that touches many layers of society. Among others, this activity maintains the social dremis of bread. Thanks to cattle ranching, the most remote areas of our geography are populated, integrating a true skin on the country, contributing effectively to the full exercise of sovereignty, not only from the point of view of making presence where Costa Rica is born and ends, but Guaranteeing the producer to count for his family milk and meat for his subsistence, because the poverty anywhere in the world, will always have the same face.
Given this challenge to the country and therefore to our region, due to current climate changes (droughts, lack of water and pastures, or floods), it is necessary to be competitive in the agricultural area. Within our possibilities to be successful, the buffalo breeding can occupy a very important place. This millenary breeding, for us, must stop being exotic and happens to be a reality. The Buffalo is a multipurpose animal that brings together a series of qualities that we must take advantage of. Among them, it emphasizes its adaptability to adverse conditions, its precocity, its capacity to produce milk and meat, in addition to its performance as a working animal.
In order to improve the socioeconomic conditions of our fields and generate employment at the level of their communities, we present the development of this project, which consists of establishing bufalinas farms, as a viable alternative to strengthen these areas in extreme poverty.
The project directly and indirectly benefits the family of small producers, by obtaining ten buffaloes, as well as in the implementation of the project in parallel, it is intended that people be involved in the training of animal management as in the transformation of Milk in cheese and other products, generating this more labor.
