Resumen:
Abstract: This work shows the progress of a proposal aimed at influencing the combat of desertification and poverty through the use of territory resources, improvement and diversification of goat production, revegetation of degraded lands, reduced livestock pressure, increased producers’ income, and reinforcement of local actors’ capacities to render new services. Desertification is studied and assessed as a complex problem, through an integrated assessment procedure based on indicators and benchmarks. Work experience is located in the northeast of Mendoza, in severely desertified drylands.This work shows the progress of a proposal aimed at influencing the combat of desertification and poverty through the use of territory resources, improvement and diversification of goat production, revegetation of degraded lands, reduced livestock pressure, increased producers’ income, and reinforcement of local actors’ capacities to render new services.
