To help determine appropriate strategies for improving smallholder goat production, a farming system study was conducted in the northern part of Bahia state, Brazil. After a brief description of the research methodology, the report describes the area's geographic, climatic, and general agricultural aspects (including livestock density and distribution) and details the socioeconomic and agricultural production characteristics of smallholders. Next, the region's total farm production system - one of intensive crop cultivation and extensive livestock production - is discussed, followed by analyses of goat production management and of consumption and marketing determinants. The study concludes that goat production systems are complex and closely adapted to local environments; there is no typical small producer of goats. Thus, assistance should offer a broad range of modest solutions, rather than one ambitious, innovative package. Finally, since smallholders produce goats because production is easy and inexpensive, production improvements should strive to make the system more efficient, not more complex.

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate. · Source: award and document years
Axis: years in documents. The start year comes from design document year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
Who started the program, and which administration it began under. Timing only; it does not say who started it. · Source: initiative records, start year
Began during the Jimmy Carter administration (1977–1981). Based on its design document year, 1979. This places the program in time only; it does not mean that administration started it.
No document or official record says which initiative or administration launched this program.
