Gender, Livestock and Household Peasant Production: Dairy and Diversification in Crop-Livestock Systems of an Andean Community

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

This study would not have been possible without the generous cooperation of the families of San José Llanga, who took time off from their busy harvest schedules to teach us and answer our questions. Similarly, the research was facilitated and benefitted in countless ways through the support and collaboration of the researchers and administrators of the SR-CRSP and IBTA. In Missouri, Drs. Michael F. Nolan and Jere L. Gilles, principal and co-principal investigators of the sociology program, were instrumental in allowing this research to take place. Their support and counsel is very much appreciated. In Bolivia, Edgar Cala, Christian Jetté and Lisa Markowitz assisted in implementing this research. In the U.S., Jorge Céspedes and Leonie Marks collaborated in processing the information generated from the questionnaires. Their support is deeply appreciated. Special thanks are due to Dr. D. Layne Coppock (Utah State University) for extensive comments on a draft of this report.
