“…Milk production can play a strategic role in promoting rural and regional development. Due to the potential to absorb work, add value and generate monthly income -especially in spaces with an intense presence of family farmers -the activity raises the levels of quality of life in the countryside, which contributes to maintaining the population in rural areas (Thies. Schneider & Matte, 2023).…”

It is known that the agribusiness sector in Brazil is made up of several companies operating in different business models in their environment. They operate in production side as no cyclical and the market side as cyclical, such as milk and dairy products. It is, however, characterized by dynamic and complex processes and competitive events, applied technologies, specialized labor problems, with risks and uncertainties inherent to the environment. Dairy farming is a relevant segment of this sector, both in terms of representativeness and wealth generation. Therefore, dairy farms need to be aware of innovations, and be effective in the pursuit of productive performance and profitability. The present study aims to evaluate the Critical Success Factors (CSF) involved in the search for high productive performance and profitability in dairy farms assisted by technical and managerial consulting of an agribusiness alpha company. The research has a qualitative approach and a descriptive conclusive character. Multiple case studies were carried out, and the units of analysis are 6 farms, their respective leaders (owners and managers), and consultants specialized in dairy farming from the company Alfa de Consultoria. The results demonstrate that the CSFs that promote high performance in dairy farms are: financial management; leadership and people management; process management; employee training and development; adequate sizing of the project; search for continuous improvement; management of indices and technical indicators; ensure animal comfort; technical assistance and consultancy.

“…Cattle fulfill different functions for family farmers and ranchers. In many circumstances, especially when access to markets and banking organizations is difficult, cattle often serve as the basis of family savings, and their liquidity (greater than other assets controlled by farmers) allows them to be sold quickly in emergency situations [17,[20][21][22]. Family farms predominate in milk production, as the entire production cycle is labor intensive [23].…”

Regenerative Cattle Farming in Latin America and the Caribbean, Far beyond the Oxymoron

Latin America and the Caribbean offer the most favorable natural and social conditions for the emergence of cattle ranching that regenerate and maintains the ecosystem services on which life on Earth depends, that is energy efficient and that contributes to meeting fundamental human food needs. Unlike other major global producers, cattle farming in Latin America and the Caribbean is fundamentally based on pasture. Therein lies both its strength (due to the regenerative potential of well-managed pastures) and its vulnerability (due to the pervasive link between deforestation and pasture formation, especially in the Amazon, where 40% of the Brazilian herd is concentrated). The diversification of pastures (today marked by impressive monotony, with brachiaria accounting for 85% of the species in Brazil), the introduction of legumes and tree plantations within them, and the proper management of herds, open the way to the possibility of drastically reducing the area currently occupied by the activity (especially in the Amazon) while maintaining the supply of its products. Agricultural research has disseminated forms of moderate intensification of cattle ranching, which represent a low opportunity cost of animal feed and, at the same time, regeneration of ecosystem services that have so far been destroyed by the prevailing methods of farming.
