Collaborative characterization of wild edible plant relevance for sustainable food systems at a Mexican agroforest frontier
Wild edible plants (wild plants) are essential to rural livelihoods, yet their diversity and consumption are declining, jeopardizing their contributions to food security. We explored the relevance of wild plants for transitioning toward a sustainable local food system in an agroforest frontier of southern Mexico through a transdisciplinary approach. We characterized their relevance by integrating knowledge shared through participatory tools, such…
Funcionamiento ecohidrológico y conocimiento local para la adaptación a inundaciones extremas
Introducción: la frecuencia e intensidad de las inundaciones extremas representan un riesgo para las poblaciones costeras. Las estrategias institucionales de adaptación suelen basarse en modelos técnicos, sin considerar las experiencias y los conocimientos locales. Objetivo: en este artículo se documenta y analiza el funcionamiento ecohidrológico de las inundaciones y el conocimiento local para integrarlos en el contexto de desarrollo eficaz de e…
Shifting tides
Values of nature provide insights into how people perceive, experience, and manage social-ecological systems. Abrupt environmental and social changes, such as those driven by extractives industries, can reshape, erode, or generate new values, yet these dynamics remain understudied. This research explores how oil industry expansion has influenced the plurality of nature values in artisanal fishing communities along the Gulf of Mexico in Tabasco, M…
Drivers of changes and transition pathways of sand resource extraction in Tabasco, Mexico
Between 2005 and 2020, sand resources production in Tabasco reached 388.8 Mt, driven by a 20-fold increase in annual output. • Urban expansion and flood control measures were the main drivers of sand resources demand in Tabasco from 2005 to 2020. • Two extraction hotspots were identified: Cunduacán for river sand and Macuspana for quarried gravel. • The combination of natural resource availability, strategic location, infrastructure connectivity,…
Cocina Colaboratorio
Transdisciplinary knowledge co-production has been deemed critical to support the transformative changes needed to navigate toward more just and sustainable futures. Novel collaborations between local stakeholders, artists, designers, and scientists have the potential to further advance such transformations. In this paper, we describe the work of the transdisciplinary project Cocina Colaboratorio. We describe how the project was born and establis…
Explorando la eficiencia técnica de la producción agrícola en tres regiones de México
This work assesses the technical efficiency (TE) in agricultural production under irrigation of corn, alfalfa, sorghum, and plantain; the analysis is conducted for three hydrological subregions of Mexico: Río San Juan (north), Valley of Mexico (center) and Valle Bajo de Grijalva (South). The measurement was carried out by agricultural cycle (spring-summer, autumn-winter and perennial), and by land size. We use stochastic frontier analysis to corr…
Unveiling relational values in agroecosystems through participatory video in a tropical agroforest frontier
Forum Theatre as a mechanism to explore representation of local people's values in environmental governance
Nature degradation, poverty and social discrimination are some of the consequences of unfair decision‐making over environmental resources within rural communities in the Global South. Barriers to achieving fair environmental decisions are entrenched power differences and the lack of representation of the diversity of local values in environmental decision‐making. Using intersectionality and value pluralism as a conceptual base, this is the first …
Valuing trans-disciplinarity
This article intervenes in the persistent hierarchy of epistemological worth that produces scientific knowledge as meaningful, and knowledge from arts or humanities as marginal, or illustrative. The specific trans-disciplinary project we discuss brings together environmental social sciences with performance-based Forum Theatre methods to explore ‘value’ as understood in communities in Tabasco and Chiapas, Mexico in relation to Payment for Ecosyst…
Comportamiento de los hogares frente a la problemática de disponibilidad y acceso al agua en zonas rurales. Aportes desde Tabasco
En esta contribución, realizadadesde la perspectiva del derecho humano al agua, nos acercamos a la localidad rural Tomás Garrido, municipio de Tacotalpa, estado de Tabasco, con el fin de documentar el comportamiento de los hogares frente a la problemática de acceso al agua. Encontramos prácticas familiares como el acarreo, compra de recipientes para el almacenamiento, racionamiento del agua y el ajuste de las actividades domésticas en tiempos de …
Blue-space availability, environmental quality and amenity use across contrasting socioeconomic contexts
Over 60% of the global population are expected to live in urban areas by 2050. Urban blue spaces are critical for biodiversity, provide a range of ecosystem services, and can promote human health and wellbeing. Despite this, access to blue space is often unequally distributed across socioeconomic gradients, and the availability of quality blue space could extend to environmental justice issues. Three stages of analysis were carried out in Mexico …
A regional Pecs node built from place-based social-ecological sustainability research in Latin America and the Caribbean
Sustainability requires a combination of meaningful co-production of locally relevant solutions, synthesis of insights gained across regions, and increased cooperation between science, policy and practice. The Programme for Ecosystem Change and Society (PECS) has been coordinating Place-Based Social-Ecological Sustainability Research (PBSESR) across the globe and emphasizes the need for regional scientific nodes from diverse biocultural regions t…
Between Environmental Change and Neoliberalism
Rural communities worldwide are increasingly confronted with the simultaneous impacts of environmental change dynamics and processes of economic restructuring that diminish traditional sources of state support while shifting investments toward large-scale intensive production models. A key question in this context is how livelihoods are affected by these interacting forces of change and whether new production models can contribute to resilience a…
Informes de gobierno y paisaje forestal en Tabasco y Chiapas de 1947-1982
El artículo se propone contrastar de manera sucinta las políticas públicas forestales gestadas en el periodo 1947-1982, a través de los informes de gobierno de los estados de Tabasco y Chiapas (México). Para ello se recopilaron y digitalizaron informes de gobiernos estatales del periodo de estudio, complementados con fuentes secundarias. El método de investigación fue cualitativo con una búsqueda intensiva y extensiva de fuentes, lo cual sirvió p…
Community perceptions of socioecological stressors and risk-reducing strategies in Tabasco, Mexico
Implementation and performance of Agenda 21 for local governments in Mexico
English Abstract: This article assesses the implementation and performance of Local Agenda 21 (LA21) in Mexico over a decade (2004–2013). Official records of municipal evaluations from all 31 Mexican states were analyzed, comprising 39 indicators of four dimensions of sustainable development: institutional, economic, social and environmental. A positive evolution of the implementation of LA21 was observed, with the economic and social dimensions …
