The value enhancement of Guadeloupe's private forests (48% of the total) is a major challenge for the territory in terms of agroecological transition combined with diverse ecosystem services (ES). In many Latin American regions, agroforestry systems (AFS) include a significant proportion of livestock, but very few are described in Guadeloupe. In this study, AFS including livestock activities were classified through semi-open interviews (n = 50) based on two dimensions: the agricultural region and the farmer’s main production strategy. Results showed that, on average, AFS are family farming systems (more than 30%) and the percentage of farmers with multiple activities is high (77%). Mixed tree-crop-livestock systems are very frequent, with 1/3rd of the sub-units devoted to animal husbandry. Farmers preferably raise small ruminants, backyard animals, and large herbivores (20 to 25% of answers each), and to a lesser extent raise pigs and keep bees (12% each). Mixed animal units exist (50%) with between two and six species. More than 80% of farmers use their farm resources (pastures, natural fodder trees or crop by-products) to feed their animals. Even though self-consumption remains widespread (50% of responses), 80% of the farmers want to give a more economic orientation to their activities. The other responses (16%) concerned socio-cultural functions. Several ES are described and are discussed here at different levels (farm, territory, society). In conclusion, in the forested area of Guadeloupe, there is a potential for the development of efficient livestock farming using an agroecological approach. Complete mixed systems (tree-crop-livestock) should be promoted for the provision of multiple ES.

瓜德罗普农林系统中的畜牧活动:生产和功能系统

瓜德罗普岛私人森林(占总数的 48%)的价值提升是该领土在农业生态转型和多样化生态系统服务 (ES) 方面面临的重大挑战。在许多拉丁美洲地区,农林业系统 (AFS) 包括很大比例的牲畜,但在瓜德罗普岛的描述很少。在这项研究中,包括牲畜活动在内的 AFS 通过半开放式访谈(n = 50) 基于两个维度:农业区域和农民的主要生产战略。结果表明,平均而言,AFS 是家庭农业系统(超过 30%),同时从事多种活动的农民比例很高(77%)。林-农-畜混合系统非常频繁,其中 1/3 的子单位专门用于畜牧业。农民最好饲养小型反刍动物、后院动物和大型食草动物(各占回答的 20% 至 25%),并在较小程度上养猪和养蜜蜂(各占 12%)。存在混合动物单位 (50%),有 2 到 6 个物种。超过 80% 的农民使用他们的农场资源(牧场、天然饲料树或作物副产品)来喂养他们的动物。尽管自我消费仍然很普遍(50% 的受访者),80% 的农民希望为他们的活动提供更多的经济导向。其他回答 (16%) 与社会文化功能有关。这里描述了几个 ES,并在不同级别(农场、领土、社会)进行了讨论。总之,在瓜德罗普岛的森林地区,利用生态农业方法发展高效畜牧业具有潜力。应推广完全混合系统(树-作物-牲畜)以提供多种生态系统。
