Objective: The success of the beef cattle business, of course, does not only improve input, production, and post-harvest management but also must be balanced with marketing management. Theoretical framework: A marketing agency is urgently needed in the beef cattle business to move the business from producers to consumers. A marketing agency can facilitate the movement of businesses up to the consumer level. These agencies have varied forms, such as individuals, associations, or individuals. Beef cattle marketing agencies are breeders, collector traders, and wholesalers. Method: The research was carried out in Merauke Regency. The research location was determined by purposive sampling or deliberately based on the consideration that Merauke Regency had the largest beef cattle population in Papua. The population in this research was beef cattle breeders and traders in Merauke Regency, taking three towns in each area with the biggest populace. The number of respondents who were taken was 15 breeders in each town, so the overall number of respondents was 45 breeders, whereas the census took dealers. The sampling of breeders was carried out using an accidental sampling technique and met the prerequisites, specifically, having sold hamburger cattle with more than five long times of cultivating encounters. Results and conclusion: The results of this research indicated that there were four marketing channels for beef cattle, namely breeders-final consumers, breeders–collector traders-final consumers, breeders- wholesalers-final consumers, breeders-collector traders-wholesalers-final consumers. The largest margin marketing agency was the wholesalers on marketing channel III of IDR 1.800,772/head, with a profit of IDR 1.450,772/head. Meanwhile, the lowest margin marketing agency was collector traders in marketing channel II of IDR 529,891/head, with a profit of IDR 261,891/head. The most productive showcasing channel utilized was channel II since it had a smaller advertise productivity esteem than promoting channel IV. Implications of the research: The beef cattle marketing system in Merauke consists of 4 marketing channels, namely breeders-final consumers, breeders–collector traders-final consumers, breeders-wholesalers-final consumers, breeders- collector traders-wholesalers-final consumers Originality: The novelty of this research lies in the range of research locations. So far, it has only focused on a few village areas and sub-districts, while the research covers all Merauke Regency sub-districts.

Deforestation is one of the most relevant transformations characterizing global environmental change in the tropics at present. There is wide consensus in pointing the context-dependent nature of tropical deforestation. In this sense, a better characterization of the phenomenon considering the social context could provide a more accurate picture of tropical deforestation. With this aim, a Q-methodology discourse analysis was conducted to characterise the different discourses that coexist in the particular region of the Paraguayan Chaco concerning the development of cattle ranching and derived deforestation. Four different discourses were identified as making sense the wide range of interests and values coexisting and clashing in the Paraguayan Chaco, namely: the Environmentalist discourse, the Business discourse, the Resigned discourse, and the Possibilist discourse. The results point that the fundamental differences between the discourses are largely explained by the different positions on three specific domains: (i) the socio-economic benefits the expansion of cattle ranching brings about; (ii) the environmental impacts the expansion of cattle ranching and the derived deforestation brings on; and, finally (iii) the degree to which an active intervention from the side of policy making to regulate the expansion of cattle ranching and to minimize possible detrimental effects is seen as necessary. The position of the different discourses in relation to these domains could help policy makers to make measures and regulations more widely accepted and followed.

Introducción y objetivos: Se estudian los conocimientos sobre las plantas forrajeras de los criollos del centro-norte de la provincia del Chaco (Argentina), así como sus formas de manejo y efectos extra-alimenticios que las mismas tienen sobre el ganado. M&M: Se emplean entrevistas registradas a 51 pobladores criollos durante seis campañas realizadas entre 2017 y 2022. Se describen los usos en su preciso contexto socio-cultural de referencia y se compilan y actualizan datos etnobotánicos inéditos sobre la temática con los cuales se efectúa una comparación diacrónica con los actuales. Resultados: Se registra un total de 624 datos etnobotánicos sobre 185 tipos de forrajes correspondientes a 143 taxa vegetales nativos o asilvestrados y 11 exóticos. Un total de 31 datos etnobotánicos se obtuvieron respecto a sus prácticas forrajeras, así como 34 acerca de los efectos extra-alimentarios de su ingestión. Solo la mitad del total de plantas y tipos de forrajes registrados a campo resultaron idénticos a los citados en fuentes históricas inéditas sobre la temática para el mismo complejo biocultural. En total se registran 850 datos etnobotánicos asociados a 348 plantas forrajeras. Conclusiones: Los conocimientos sobre plantas forrajeras se hallan embebidos de un sesgo socio-cultural basado en una valoración diferencial del ganado que las consume. Este enorme volumen de conocimientos y apreciaciones del bosque nativo como fuente de mantención de sus animales de cría reafirma la elevada significación que posee su actividad ganadera como fuente de sustento para los criollos del Chaco.
