Financial outcomes of organic and conventional farms in Spain (2015–2021). An agroecological perspective
Transforming agrifood systems is essential to meeting the Paris Agreement and addressing environmental challenges. Yet Europe is experiencing a decline in small family farms due to generational replacement issues, while farmer protests have intensified since 2023 in opposition to EU agri-environmental measures. At the same time, organic farming is expanding rapidly in Europe and worldwide, but there remains a knowledge gap on whether its financia…
La industrialización de la agricultura en Ecuador desde la perspectiva del metabolismo agrario, 1961-2019
El artículo analiza la transición socioecológica hacia una agricultura industrial en Ecuador, identificando los principales cambios y tendencias geográficas, productivas y comerciales en términos biofísicos. Para ello, se emplea la metodología del metabolismo agrario, basada en la contabilidad ambiental de los flujos de biomasa desde un enfoque agroecológico. Mediante indicadores como el cambio de uso de suelo, la productividad primaria neta, la …
En los orígenes del nacionalismo andaluz: Reflexiones en Torno Al Proceso Fallido De Socialización Del Andalucismo Histórico
El artículo presenta algunas reflexiones sobre los problemas teóricos y metodógicos implicados en el estudio del nacionalismo andaluz. El foco se centra en el aumento del nacionalismo andaluz en España a principios del siglo XX, que culminó con el manifiesto de Córdoba de 1919. Este movimiento - y su fracaso - se investiga desde la perspectiva de las diversas variantes históricas del nacionalismo o del regionalismo
The Cinegetic or Extractive Socio-Metabolic Regime
Nutritional Analysis of the Spanish Population: A New Approach Using Public Data on Consumption
Official population consumption data are frequently used to characterize the diet of countries; however, this information may not always be representative of reality. This study analyses the food consumption of the Spanish population by reconstructing the whole food chain. The results have been compared with the data provided by the National Consumption Panel to which the food losses/waste reported in the literature along the distribution chain h…
Agroecología e Historia Agraria. Una hibridación necesaria
La historiografía viene sufriendo una aguda crisis de identidad motivada tanto por la obsolescencia de los supuestos epistemológicos, axiológicos y de las propias metateorías en las que ha basado su quehacer, como por el cambio en la función social del discurso histórico y del sujeto que lo elabora. Las grandes certezas de la modernidad y los relatos construidos durante décadas para legitimarlas han dado paso a las incertidumbres del presente y d…
Historia Ante El Cambio Climático: La conciencia de los límites
Este artículo es una reflexión sobre la historia en los tiempos actuales de crisis ecológica y emergencia climática. Constata la distancia existente entre el discurso historiográfico dominante y las demandas sociales de conocimiento y de experiencias útiles que impone la realidad. Nos encontramos en una situación en la que los retos que hay que afrontar no encuentran respaldo en los relatos del pasado que reproducimos, enseñamos o construimos. El…
Long-term trajectories of the C footprint of N fertilization in Mediterranean agriculture (Spain, 1860–2018)
Synthetic nitrogen (N) fertilization has helped boost agricultural yields, but it is also responsible for direct and indirect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Fertilizer-related emissions are also promoted by irrigation and manure application, which has increased with livestock industrialization. Spanish agriculture provides a paradigmatic example of high industrialization under two different climates (temperate and Mediterranean) and two contrast…
Una Aproximación Biofísica a la Industrialización de la Agricultura Española desde la Historia Aplicada
This paper presents the findings of two research studies carried out over several years on the evolution of Spanish agriculture and the change it has undergone towards an industrialized agricultural model. The first research project attempted to analyze the changes that have taken place since the beginning of the 20th century from a biophysical point of view, using the methodology of social metabolism applied to the specificity of agriculture and…
Principles for designing Agroecology-based Local (territorial) Agri-food Systems: A Critical Revision
Alternative food systems and networks, which have emerged around the world, are often fragmentary, reduced in size and frequently unfold in parallel, hardly linked to each other. Agroecology faces the challenge of scaling up these initiatives to gain size and a significant impact on food production and consumption. Within the agroecological movement, however, diverse conceptions exist of what a sustainable food system should be. It is thus necess…

The Spanish Transition to Industrial Metabolism: Long‐Term Material Flow Analysis (1860–2010)
The aim of this work is to reconstruct the main economy‐wide/material flow accounting indicators for the Spanish economy between 1860 and 2010. The main results indicate that from 1960 onward, the country saw a very rapid industrial transition based on the domestic extraction of quarry products and the import of fossil fuels and manufactured goods. Direct material consumption rose from 58.7 million tonnes (Mt) in 1860 to 570.2 Mt in 2010. In per …
Nutrient Balances and Management of Soil Fertility Prior to the Arrival of Chemical Fertilizers in Andalusia, Southern Spain
Studies on the role of nutrient balances in the socioecological transition of agriculture are scarce, particularly in the Mediterranean region where manure availability was low. The role of nutrient balance in this transition was evaluated in three representative localities of the inland Mediterranean region of southern Spain from 1750 to 1900. Changes in cropland distribution, population, manure availability and demand, and nutrient balance at c…

Erosion in the Mediterranean: The Case of Olive Groves in the South of Spain (1752–2000)
Despite the key role that soil and its management have played in the sustainability of farming societies, few historical studies have been carried out on erosion and its effects. In Mediterranean agriculture, erosion from olive cultivation is currently one of the region's main environmental problems. This essay develops a case study from southern Spain to quantify soil loss in olive groves over three centuries, using empirical data and model anal…

Peasant Protest as Environmental Protest. Some cases from the 18th to the 20th century
This article analyzes peasant conflicts from an environmental perspective. First, we show a general theory about the environmental conflicts making a clear differentiation between environmental, environmentalist conflicts and green movements. We realize this differentiation using as criterion the goals of the actors in relation to the sustainability of the agroecosystems and depending on the types of discourses used on the protests. Second, we an…

The Limits of Agricultural Growth in the Nineteenth Century: A Case Study from the Mediterranean World
This paper examines the incidence of environmental factors in the economic growth experienced by the Spanish agricultural sector during the 19th century. Using the principle of Coevolution between Nature and Society, this paper aims to verify a fundamental hypothesis which, in our view, suggest a new way of looking at the past of Mediterranean agriculture and its late incorporation into the more advanced agricultural world. The traditional view c…
