ABSTRACT. Livestock production is being questioned for its greenhouse gas emissions. However, production systems influence multiple environmental variables and, in some cases, contribute to very valuable environmental services. This work summarizes information collected at 30 livestock production farms and four IN-IAs experimental fields allocated throughout the Uruguayan territory. A total of 231 bird species were recorded, 42 of them identified like priority conservation species. Of these species 10 are included in UICN lists and 19 in Uruguayan Red List.

In Uruguay the production of tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum Miller) in greenhouse conditions presents pollination issues that limit its yield. The use of Bumblebees (Bombus spp.) as pollinators can help overcome this problem as they perform, buzzing pollination, a behavior that makes them excellent pollinators of Solanaceae and particularly tomato. This study is the first in Uruguay to show the benefits of using native Bumblebees to improve tomato production in greenhouses.

ABSTRACT: This research outlines the fundamental elements of a pathway for transforming Uruguay?s rice sector in a way that is consistent with post-2015 SDGs. Uruguay is the most export-oriented rice producing country in the word, selling around 95% of its total production in the international market.
