French term or phrase: ateliers d’élevage
I'm looking for the best way to translate this in the following context:

Plusieurs entités opérant dans le pays et travaillant sur la thématique « Sécurité alimentaire » ont fait des recherches sur différentes catégories de cultures et ateliers d’élevage dans le pays dans le cadre de la recherche (Inventaires ….DEFI 2012).

Several entities operating in the country and working on the theme "food security" have researched different categories of crops and livestock production farms in the country within the framework of research (Inventories... DEFI 2012).

Thank you for your help!

English translation:livestock units
Explanation:
It sounds as if research is being conducted on different types of crops and livestock units. The term 'atelier d'élévage' designated a sub-system on a farm characterized by the type of management and production. For example, on a dairy farm, there may be a dairy unit (cows producing milk), a fattening unit (fattening calves), etc (translated extract from Landais, 1987. Recherches sur les systèmes d'élevage)

livestock production farms


Explanation:
I think you're correct. Or could say livestock production facilities, to be more vague in case it's not exactly a farm.

(Would use "various" instead of "different" categories, because no categories are being compared with each other)

neutral  nweatherdon: are you sure it's not "workshops" in the sense of maybe training workshops?

  -> Yes I'm sorry, you're right. I didn't think it was possible but they really meant ateliers which I would translate as livestock researach facilities. This is the context (p. 65): http://agriculture.gouv.ht/view/01/IMG/pdf/Inventaires_proje...
