Enhancing land planning
Most of the population in the future will live in urban areas, and the demand for cultural ecosystem services is expected to grow. Peri-urban ecosystems are highly pressured, often leading to conflicting management situations that vary with the socioeconomic scenario. Understanding what is known about the relationships between cultural services and peri-urban areas can enhance natural resource management. A quantitative review of recent literatur…
Recent developments for robust potato seed systems through agrobiodiversity and farmers engagement in the Andes
Ensuring the sustainability of food systems is imperative, and agroecology, with its emphasis on increasing agrobiodiversity within seed systems, emerges as a crucial approach. However, influential groups strongly promote an emphasis on improved varieties and certified seeds. This article aims to increase the portfolio of options of seed systems interventions by presenting the recent developments in enhancing agrobiodiversity to make potato seed …
Gathering, agriculture, and exchange
Background Historically, the Andean people have experienced uncertainty in terms of the availability of food resources because of climatic and ecological variations that are typical of mountainous environments. Risk management strategies, including the diversified and complementary use and management of species and ecosystems at different elevations, have faced such uncertainty. The current effects of climate change on food security motivate stud…
Disentangling Domestication from Food Production Systems in the Neotropics
The Neolithic Revolution narrative associates early-mid Holocene domestications with the development of agriculture that fueled the rise of late Holocene civilizations. This narrative continues to be influential, even though it has been deconstructed by archaeologists and geneticists in its homeland. To further disentangle domestication from reliance on food production systems, such as agriculture, we revisit definitions of domestication and food…
Brazilian and Mexican experiences in the study of incipient domestication
BackgroundStudies of domestication enables a better understanding of human cultures, landscape changes according to peoples' purposes, and evolutionary consequences of human actions on biodiversity. This review aimed at discussing concepts, hypotheses, and current trends in studies of domestication of plants, using examples of cases studied in regions of Mesoamerica and Brazil. We analyzed trends of ethnobiological studies contributing to documen…
Landscape management and domestication of Stenocereus pruinosus (Cactaceae) in the Tehuacán Valley
Background Use of plant resources and ecosystems practiced by indigenous peoples of Mesoamerica commonly involves domestication of plant populations and landscapes. Our study analyzed interactions of coexisting wild and managed populations of the pitaya Stenocereus pruinosus, a columnar cactus used for its edible fruit occurring in natural forests, silviculturally managed in milpa agroforestry systems, and agriculturally managed in homegardens of…
