Resumen
BARRIO DE PEDRO, J.C.. Dairy farming in the Asturias Region (Spain). Arch. zootec. [online]. 2011, vol.60, n.232, pp.1315-1318. ISSN 1885-4494. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S0004-05922011000400046.
Dairy farming represents a half of the agrarian gross margin of Asturias, and more of 10% of the milk quota of Spain. During last thirty years it occurred a quick process of increasing size of farms, intensive rearing, specialization and geographical concentration, very marked by a bigger external dependency (feeding, borrowing, depreciations, regulations, subsidies) and by a lesser flexibility facing risks of the market (price of the milk, costs of food and supplies) and of farm transmission. What continuity for this activity? Disappearing, intensive rearing within societies or alternative solutions (based on quality sectors, part-time farming...)?
