Abstract

Abstract Conventional pastureland management has brought Southern Brazilian dairy farms to a financial and environmental crisis. In this context, the management-intensive grazing system (MIG) emerges as a viable alternative to conventional pastureland management. This study aims to analyze the Social-Ecological System (SES) transformation process of the dairy system in Santa Rosa de Lima, Southern Brazil, from conventional management to MIG. For the analysis, two different frameworks were combined: SES transformation process and the triple-loop learning frameworks. The analysis was based on a statistical analysis of interviews, conducted with dairy farmers. Results show that the dairy system in Santa Rosa de Lima is in the middle of a transformation process. During this phase, farmers have already reached single and, partially, double-loop learning. Among the elements needed to successfully move the transformation process forward, social learning stands out as indispensable, as well as financial capital. For this, payments for ecosystem services are suggested.

社会生态系统转型与学习:以巴西圣罗莎利马乳业系统为例

传统的牧场管理给巴西南部的奶牛场带来了财政和环境危机。在这种情况下，管理集约化放牧系统(MIG)成为传统牧场管理的可行替代方案。本研究旨在分析巴西南部圣罗莎利马乳业系统从传统管理到MIG管理的社会生态系统(SES)转型过程。为了进行分析，我们结合了两种不同的框架:SES转换过程和三环学习框架。该分析基于对奶农访谈的统计分析。结果表明，圣罗莎德利马的乳制品系统正处于转型过程中。在这一阶段，农民已经达到了单循环和部分双循环的学习。在成功推进转型进程所需的要素中，社会学习和金融资本是不可或缺的。为此，建议为生态系统服务付费。
