Abstract

Economic and environmental sustainability of family-based vegetable production systems in south Uruguay are seriously compromised after two decades of net decreasing prices and strategies based on specialization and intensification. This paper presents a model-based exploration of alternative livelihood strategies in terms of income generation and resource use, under three different future scenarios defined by local experts. We designed new production activities (rotation and animal productions), evaluated them with economical and environmental indicators and finally combined them at farm-scale to elucidate win-win situations and tradeoffs. Results were used for defining policy briefs to support ongoing local innovation processes
