“…Animal farming in suburban environments remains however vital to many city dwellers, providing them with regular cash and satisfying the demand for strategic products (Ma et al 2007;Ghaffar et al 2007). Dairy farming has been assessed in Morocco mainly through partial studies, neglecting a more holistic approach, as applied in other countries to evaluate smallholders' cattle production projects, such as Costa Rica (Solano et al 2001), Vietnam (Suzuki et al 2006), Tunisia (Rekhis et al 2007) and Zambia, Kenya and Sri Lanka (Moll et al 2007). Roeleveld and Van den Broek (1996) emphasised the importance of making a diagnosis on livestock performances as a preliminary step, especially in developing countries.…”

“…Além disso, há uma forte correlação -demonstrada graficamente pela proximidade geométrica em relação à dimensão 1 -da variável IDP:1 (produtores mais novos, 30 a 40 anos) com as citadas anteriormente o que leva a crer que produtores mais novos adotam mais tecnologia, embora a variável escolaridade nessa amostra não tenha apresentado importância significativa na ACM, ao contrário do observado por Solano et al (2001). Para a porção positiva da dimensão 1 a incidência de níveis de ocorrência, bem como a inércia acrescentada por estas foi menos importante, sendo relacionada desta forma a menores níveis de tecnologia, segundo a escala de interpretação da dimensão como um todo.…”

“…Köbrich et al (2003) señalan que las diferencias en el tamaño de unidad de producción, tenencia de la tierra, tipo de tierras y nivel de mecanización son factores reconocidos en la formación de conglomerados. Así mismo; Solano et al (2001) y Gaspar et al (2011) reportan hallazgos similares. Por otro lado, Tuesta et al (2014) en la tipificación de Sistemas Agroforestales con cacao encontraron que las variables más importantes son Tecnología y Gestión, Económico, Familiar, Actividad Agrícola y Recursos Naturales.…”
