ABSTRACT. In this chapter, the information provided by new DNA technologies and the use of genomics in both GWAS and GS are described in detail. Because the use of genomic information in beef breeding programmes shows its potential in improving the quality of beef, the current use of GS in beef cattle is discussed. The progress on the genomics applied to the genetic improvement of beef quality is presented here, as well as research findings for marbling, fatty acids profile and tenderness.

ABSTRACT. The pitanga (Eugenia uniflora L.) belongs to Myrtaceae family, and it is native to an area extended from central Brazil through to the north of Argentina. The common name, pitanga, is from the Tupy indigenous language, "pi'tãg", meaning red, in reference to the fruit color. The pitanga has the appearance of a small pumpkin, is a green color when immature and, when ripened, may have orange, red to dark purple color. This species is well known by the Brazilian population, and has long been used in folk medicine for different purposes.
El presente documento pretende contribuir al intercambio de información y conocimiento sobre la efectiva inserción y apropiación de la IS (intensificación sostenible) en los países miembros del PROCISUR.
ABSTRACT. As the biodiversity crisis worsens, its impact on economic and social development is becoming increasingly apparent. Strategies to tackle environmental degradation and climate change must therefore focus on ensuring that ecosystems can respond to high levels of pressure while continuing to provide services indispensable to human development and to life. Evidence is pointing to a bleak outlook if we continue on our current trajectory.

El enfoque de co-innovación (Rossing et al.,2010) fue adaptado e implementado simultáneamente, a nivel predial y regional con instancias específicas que conectaron ambos procesos. El trabajo se desarrolló entre abril de 2012 y diciembre de 2015 e involucró dos zonas del departamento de Rocha:(i) las Sierras, en el eje de las Rutas 109 y 15, (ii) alrededores de Castillos.
Las siete familias involucradas en el proyecto eran productores ganaderos familiares, de mediana edad, que vivían en el predio y contaban con larga trayectoria de vida y trabajo en el campo. El sistema de producción predominante era la cría de vacunos y ovinos, con campo natural como principal base forrajera; complementándose en dos de los casos con chacra y apicultura.
