BLANCO, F; MARTIN, G; SUAREZ, J  e  MILERA, Milagros. Changes in the organizational research model of the EEPF “Indio Hatuey”: Some reflections. Pastos y Forrajes [online]. 2010, vol.33, n.2, pp. 1-1. ISSN 0864-0394.

The first organizational research model of the EEPF «Indio Hatuey» was the result of a collective building process, driven by the need and wish to follow a scientific policy mandate in relation to the search and evaluation of pasture and forage plants that exceeded the limitations of the autochthonous ones. The model, called genocentric, was institutionalized in 1976 and placed at the center of the scientific strategy the attainment, through certain ways, of new high yield species and varieties, with high quality and persistence; it included the objectives, the ways to achieve them and the flow of results in time. It gave signs of exhaustion in the 80's and was substituted by another one which focused on technology production, placing the main output in a new device called department of Livestock production technologies. Transition was quickly made towards a systemocentric research model, under the influence of the agroforestry paradigm; the scientific strategy was focused on the design and evaluation of silvopastoral or agroforestry livestock production systems; ecological vocation and rationality began to play a prevailing role. At present, a new, complex, context-focused, diversified and integrating research model is forged, conceiving the livestock production organizations as socio-eco-technical systems, and paying attention to the livestock production problems as part of local development strategies. The influence of context factors on the changes in the organizational model, as well as its features and current trends, is discussed.
