Sheep production systems in the semi-arid zone: Changes and simulated bio-economic performances in a case study in Central Chile
TL;DR: A sheep farm typology was developed to describe the evolution of sheep farming between the censuses of 1997 and 2007 in the semi-arid zone of Central Chile as mentioned in this paper, yielding three groups (I-III) that accounted for 81, 17 and 2.5% of the farms respectively, differing in farm size and in the ratio of sheep to cattle.
