Abstract

Chitagá type cheese is a nationally recognized product for its special characteristics that are indicated as a product of the natural and human conditions present in the geographical place where milk is produced and cheese is processed. This study identified the perception of use of ecosystem services (ES) among Chitagá cheese producers. To determine perception, the box test methodology for ecosystem services was applied to cheese producers; Likewise, a survey was applied to determine the perception of use and change of ecosystem services among the 58 producers who provide cow's milk to cheese producers. The most relevant supply ecosystem service for producers is water and it is perceived together with the water regulation and water purification service as the most influential benefits for the dairy sector in the municipality of Chitagá. Producers perceive greater use of supply services (75%) and regulation (50%). Cultural services are the least known, however, aesthetic enjoyment and cultural identity are important to cheese producers. The perception of ES use by producers is associated with the presence in the region of strategic ecosystems such as the Almorzadero páramo and its direct influence on both agricultural and livestock production systems. Climate regulation, the origin and quality of water are the main services perceived by cheese producers that may be related to the quality of Chitagá cheese.
