- Abstract
A research was done to evaluate the social impact of the farmers production showcases in Venezuela, where new techniques of domestic animal production have been incorporated to rear them in deep beds with alternative food supplies and care for the environment, with the academic and technical assistance of the "State Researh Center for Agriculture and Industry Experimental Production" (CIEPE) and the "Central University of Venezuela" (ucv). The general aim of this research was to understand the different ways the changes in animal production impact on the social relations and quality of life. The specific aims were to create some indicators to evaluate the social impact of the showcases and to design evaluation instruments. The indicators are: restoration of the family unit, generation of jobs, a more enjoyable home environment, and vertical and horizontal integration. With the cooperation between cIepe, ucv, and farmers all the indicators exceeded all expectations, and cooperative work ways have been recovered.
