Presentation on Aviation Company (Spain)

This is mentioned as one of the activities that the company's aircraft is involved in. I know that "pastos" can mean "pasture". Could this be referring to the transportation/supply of animal fodder here?

Many thanks in advance for your assistance.

You should be able to clarify that from the text. What type of aircraft does the text mention?

Since the term includes suministros, perhaps you could simply use cattle / animal feed deliveries.

Example sentence(s):
  • Governor Bill Richardson Directs New Mexico National Guard to Use Aircraft for Emergency Cattle Feed Drops.
  • He said the state government had freight subsidies to allow cattle feed drops.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Hi Ana, it could mean that they drop the feed but could it also mean that they're just delivering the feed by helicopter to farms etc?

Asker: Hi Ana, it mentions aeroplanes and helicopters in the text. Unfortunately it's unclear which of these it's referring to in this instance.

Asker: Thanks for your answer as well, Ana. Unfortunately I could only accept one.
