• Resumen

  • Este artículo ahonda en las funciones del ganado mirando al continente africano, donde la tenencia de ganado está ampliamente extendida. El ganado representa mucho más allá de una fuente de leche, huevos y carne. Para grupos como los pastores, es el pilar en torno al cual se organiza su sociedad y economía. Dos características que ayudan a entender la ganadería en África son los numerosos fallos de mercado que lo alejan de una idílica competencia perfecta y la presencia del pastoreo. Las funciones del ganado que recogemos son: alimentación, renta y medio de vida, efectivo, ahorro y depósito de valor, red de seguridad y seguro, multiplicador de la productividad agraria y función social y cultural. Se introduce la discusión de las funciones del ganado como externalidades.
