This ensures the same system boundary for animal husbandry and crop production.
The purpose of the survey was to calculate the gross margins of goat husbandry and crop production.
In addition to basic health training and direct food supplementation, other interventions that are being scaled up by local NGOs to improve the food security of PLWA include income generation activities through small enterprises, home and community gardening activities, and support for animal husbandry and crop production.
Both animal husbandry and crop fields are important for subsistence.
The first phase of the programme reached nationwide, providing support in forestry, aquaculture, horticulture, animal husbandry and crop intensification.
Over the last 150 years our knowledge has increased on farming and crop husbandry, on bringing about improvements through goal-oriented plant breeding, and on milling and baking technology, leading to the standards that we enjoy today.
Figure 8 Gross margins from goat husbandry and cropping.
The contribution of goat husbandry and cropping to cover a family's basic necessities (e.g. food, housing, health, education) was evaluated by comparing gross margins with the poverty threshold in rural Mexico which is 15,384 Mexican pesos (MX$1 MX$MX$ = 0.08 USD, source: Banixco [2012]) per year per capita (CONEVAL [2009]).
The contribution of goat husbandry and cropping in relation to the poverty line is shown in plot B. The gross margins per capita of poor farmers (median = 4,987, IQ = 3,895 to 11,948) and medium farmers (median = 9,029, IQ = 7,736 to 11,723) were under the poverty line.
