El ciclo de vida en la Producción de leche y la dinámica de las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero en fincas doble propósito de la península de Azuero, República de Panamá

Abstract

El propósito del presente estudio fue analizar el ciclo de vida en la Producción de leche y la dinámica de los gases de efecto invernadero con relación al potencial natural en fincas productoras del sistema doble propósito en la península de Azuero. El área del estudio está ubicada en la zona pacífico sur, cuya zona de vida según la clasificación de Holdridge se encuentra entre, bosque húmedo premontano, bosque seco premontano y bosque seco tropical, con una precipitación anual de 1100mm, y temperatura media de 28{eth}C. En la valoración de estrategias de mitigación para dos de las fincas de manejo tradicional con balance negativo, se realizó una modelación para la mitigación de GEI, la cual se basó en la transformación de áreas de pasto natural degradadas a pasturas mejoradas con presencia de árboles (sistemas silvopastoriles) y mejora genética. Obteniéndose un balance positivo en ambas fincas y un costo de mitigación entre 11.22 a 20.82 US t-1 CO2e, dependiendo de la estrategia. The study analyzes the life cycle of milk production and the dynamics of greenhouse gases in relation to the natural assets in dual purpose milk farMON from Azuero, Panamá Republic. The study area is located in the south pacific zone, according to the Holdridge classification is found among premontane humid forest, premontane dry forest and tropical dry forest, with an average annual precipitation of 1100 mm, and average annual temperature of 28{eth}C. In the mitigation strategies assessment for two farMON of traditional management with negative balance, a model for the mitigation of greenhouse gases was carried out, which was based on the transformation of degraded natural pasture areas to improved pastures with presence of trees (silvopastoral systeMON) and genetic improvement. Being obtained a positive balance in both farMON and a cost of mitigation among 11,22 to 20,82 US t-1 CO2e, depending on the strategy.
