Crescimento inicial de mudas arbóreas irrigadas com efluente doméstico em área degradada do semiárido
Agroforestry systems have shown particular promise in the semi-arid region, where extreme weather conditions, such as high temperatures and irregular rainfall, aggravate the scarcity of arable land and water resources. So this study aims to evaluate the use of domestic effluent water in the initial growth of Schinus terebinthifolius and Mimosa caesalpiniifolia in a degraded area under drip irrigation. The experiment was conducted under field cond…
Carbon contents and fine root production in tropical silvopastoral systems
Owing to the increasing extension of land for livestock production, silvopastoral practices have been among the promising approaches to enhance carbon (C) sequestration. However, the extent of C sequestration in different silvopastoral systems (SPS) and their relationship with fine root production (FRP) is not well understood. The objective of this research was to evaluate the changes in C storage, FRP, and turnover in a part of tropical SPS. We …
Traditional Knowledge of Edible Wild Plants Used by Indigenous Communities in Zongolica, Mexico
Edible wild plants (EWP) continue to be an important food source for indigenous communities. A survey was conducted to identify the consumption and management of EWP known as quelites in the Zongolica region of Mexico. 15 species of quelites are consumed mainly during the rainy season, whose local name is associated with the plant's shape, smell and flavor. Changes in food patterns and land use threaten the permanence and consumption of these spe…
Apropiación territorial y recursos hídricos en la cuenca de los ríos Grijalva y Usumacinta, México
Se discute, bajo la estructura de un ensayo científico, sobre la potestad y aprovechamiento del agua en la cuenca de los ríos Grijalva y Usumacinta, en el sureste de México. Se distinguen conflictos asociados con las políticas públicas que promueve el estado mexicano, inclinadas a privatizar y concesionar bienes y servicios públicos. Las tendencias son preocupantes para los usuarios públicos del agua en términos de equidad, disponibilidad, costo,…
A Social Approach for the Assessment of Transition Farms: Taking Steps toward Whole-System Organic Certification in Mexico
This paper integrates a methodology for an assessment previous to organic certification of transition farms. The methodology was designed and applied to a farm in the municipality of Villaflores, Chiapas. Research consisted of grouping certification standards from different certification agencies into an integrated methodology for evaluating the farm prior to it being submitted to the certification process. The norms proposed by the International…
Perceptions on Sustainable Livestock Training in the Biosphere Reserve La Sepultura, Chiapas, Mexico
The perceptions on sustainable livestock training given to farmers from different communities of the Biosphere Reserve La Sepultura (BIRESE) were analyzed. The research was conducted from January to December 2011 through a socio-anthropological study based upon an evaluative diagnosis, with semi-structured interviews, ethnography, observations, and collection of training materials. The information was synthesized in tables, considering the points…
Popular Education in the Ends and Means of Empowerment: Peasants in Indigenous Mexico
Empowerment holds a special appeal for organizations and funders involved in rural development, but its meaning and long-term usefulness for target communities remain unresolved theoretically and inconsistent in practice. This article proposes that empowerment be rooted in the daily language and life experiences of target communities if it is to realize its potential significance as an ongoing, individual and shared process that reaches beyond th…
Who ́s Who? Power Mapping, Decision Making and Development Concerns in an Indigenous Community of Oaxaca, Mexico
This paper examines how power is understood and exercised by actors involved in local decision making, by drawing on an experience in participatory power mapping in an indigenous community of Oaxaca, Mexico. Research was carried out during 2003-2007 by coupling a participatory action research approach and ethnographic methods to focus on the usos y costumbres system (U and C or local customary law) as the most important framework ensuring social …
