Women in the dairy family farmer: analysis of uruguayan and french situations | Agrociencia Uruguay
The aim of this study was to characterize different aspects of women’s work at dairy family farms in France and Uruguay, from the analysis of practices and theirs representations. A study of 20 cases of women was carried out (10 in Uruguay and 10 in France), using semi-structured interviews, that later were re-transcribed for the thematic analysis of content. The results revealed that the familiar dairy farming involve an homogeneous participation of women work, with the main difference between studied countries in the gender status in the society and professional level of the women. Women from both countries carry out mainly the milking, the care of calves and the administrative work, varying their degree of responsibility. Their role in the work group can be assigned, delegated or chosen. The constructed compromise as a whole, can vary between strong (be responsible for tasks, active participation in decisions and chosen role) and weak (little participation in the tasks and little exchange of information). The diversity of compromise is related to the joint between familiar, professional and social universe, offering to the women a space of autonomy in time management and task accomplishment. These factors are important in the construction of an identity of their own.

Potential Soil Quality Impact of Harvesting Crop Residues for Biofuels | Agrociencia Uruguay
We are in one of the greatest technological, environmental and social transitions since the industrial revolution, as we strive to replace fossil energy with renewable biomass resources. My objectives are to (1) briefly review increased public interest in harvesting crop residues as feedstock for bioenergy, (2) discuss the work soil scientists must do to address those interests, and (3) examine how soil quality assessment can be used to help quantify soil biological, chemical and physical response to this transition. Rising global energy demand, dependence on unstable imports, volatility in price, and increasing public concern regarding fossil fuel combustion effects on global climate change are among the factors leading to an increased interest in development and use of renewable biomass sources for energy production. Although controlling soil erosion by wind and water is no less important than in the past, it is not the only factor that needs to be considered when evaluating the sustainability of land management practices including harvest of crop residues as bioenergy feedstock. The concept of soil quality assessment is reviewed and the Soil Management Assessment Framework (SMAF) is used to illustrate how such assessments can be used for assessing impacts of harvesting crop residue as feedstock for bioenergy production. Preliminary results of the SMAF assessment show that soil organic carbon (SOC) is one of the lower scoring indicators and therefore needs to be monitored closely. Innovative soil and crop management strategies, including a landscape vision are offered as ideas for achieving sustainable food, feed, fiber, and energy production.
