Selling industrial "gallina criolla" products in Guatemala: Implications for consumers, producers, heritage, and biodiversity

Abstract

The report "Selling Industrial Gallina Criolla Products in Guatemala" was funded by grants from the Tiny Beam Fund. The fund aims to support public research by academics studying the impacts of industrial food animal production in low-and middle-income countries. This report is the product of two Kindling Initiative grants awarded to Emory University for projects led by Dr. Yulia Chuvileva and others. This new report should not be confused with the original 2020 Guidance Memo on which it is based: DOI number 10.15868/social sector.36569. That Guidance Memo was supported with a Burning Questions grant awarded personally to Dr. Yulia Chuvileva.
