Everyday agroecologies in the Mixteca Alta, Mexico: Gendered knowledge and practices in homegarden agroecosystem management
Despite extensive documentation of homegarden agroecosystems in tropical contexts, their persistence and socio-ecological functioning in semi-arid regions of Mexico remain largely unexplored. This study examines how agroecological principles manifest at the household scale in homegardens of the Mixteca Alta, southern Mexico. We argue that women’s situated knowledge and expertise constitute – rather than merely contribute to – the management and r…
Participatory fuzzy cognitive modelling reveals leverage points for agroecological adoption in the Central Valleys of Oaxaca
Global institutions are increasingly calling for an agroecological transition of our food systems to promote sustainable farmer livelihoods, safeguard agrobiodiversity and foster socio‐ecological resilience to a changing climate. Yet adoption remains limited, and there is a paucity of research examining how local conditions enable and constrain agroecological adoption. This study couples participatory fuzzy cognitive mapping with a leverage point…
Gendered Economic Impacts of the Covid-19 Pandemic and Rural Women's Livelihood Strategies in Mexico's Mixteca Alta
The literature on the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic shows that the impacts on women were particularly harsh, as lockdowns increased their household workloads and devastated female-dominated occupations. However, little has been published on the construction of livelihood strategies to offset the impacts of the pandemic. Analysis of the strategies of women in two rural municipalities of the Mixteca Alta region in Mexico shows an increa…
Del conocimiento tradicional ambiental al conocimiento tradicional del paisaje. El papel de la lengua local
Los trabajos sobre conocimiento tradicional del paisaje son relativamente menos numerosos en comparación con el resto de los estudios sobre conocimiento tradicional ambiental. Esto puede corroborarse por la cantidad de publicaciones e incluso la existencia de sociedades científicas en temas relacionados con la etnobiología y la etnoecología. De manera adicional, la dimensión lingüística en los estudios relativos al conocimiento tradicional del pa…
Governing the commons in Mexico's Mixteca Alta: Linking Ostrom's design principles and comunalidad
Beyond a generalized deagrarianization: Livelihood heterogeneity and its determinants in the Mixteca Alta, Mexico
La classification de la diversité de maïs des Mixtèques et des Chatines de la Sierra Sur, Oaxaca Mexique
Cet article explore le savoir local de la diversité du maïs de deux communautés amérindiennes. Nous décrivons les différences du vocabulaire du maïs en langue et classification locales pour montrer comment ces populations différencient leurs maïs. Nous avons étudié deux municipalités voisines de la Sierra Sur Oaxaca, l’une habitée par des Mixtèques et l’autre par des Chatines. Cette approche comparative de deux municipalités a compris également l…
The forest transition as a window of opportunity to change the governance of common-pool resources: The case of Mexico’s Mixteca Alta
Grounding maladaptation: Agricultural change as a source of climatic risks in small farms of the Mixteca Alta, Mexico
Migration, socioeconomic transformation, and land-use change in Mexico’s Mixteca Alta: Lessons for forest transition theory
Handmade tortilla production in the basins of lakes Pátzcuaro and Zirahuén, Mexico
The Main Map presented in this paper is the result of intensive fieldwork and mapping of 43 rural communities of the Pátzcuaro and Zirahuén basins in central-western Mexico. It shows the presence of handmade-tortilla workshops and considers the natural resources they demand but also their social, economic and cultural significance in the region. An in-depth survey of 111 Hand Made Tortilla Workshops gave detailed information of tortilla productio…
Back to the roots: Understanding current agroecological movement, science, and practice in Mexico
In the middle of the last century, there were two types of agronomic scientists in Mexico. One group perceived traditional agriculture as backward and in need of modernization with advanced technologies. The other group, engaged in intensive fieldwork, studied and found inspiration in peasant and indigenous systems. This latter group of researchers who studied and described the biocultural richness of these systems provided the foundations for th…
