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…
The shadow of tropical agriculture
Agrarian transformations in tropical regions, driven by fossil-fuel inputs and export-oriented specialization, have caused significant ecological and climatic challenges. Assessing the historical and current patterns of these systems is essential for understanding global biomass production dynamics and addressing their impacts. This study employs long-term agroecological energy analysis (AEA) to examine the efficiency and sustainability of biomas…

A research framework to investigate food systems at a national scale
This article aims to advance understandings of food systems functioning at a national level and explore ways for its transformation towards sustainability and social justice. Integrating food regime theory from political economy with social metabolism from ecological economics , and surplus/reproduction from feminist economics, we develop a novel research framework which combines six dimensions—food systems governance, monetary agrifood chain, so…
Dos modelos de especialización ganadera en el último siglo
A lo largo del siglo xx, el crecimiento urbano y los cambios en las pautas alimentarias impulsaron una expansión de la producción ganadera, especialmente en las áreas rurales más próximas a las grandes ciudades donde se concentraba la demanda de alimentos. Ello dio lugar a modelos de especialización ganadera distintos, tanto desde el punto de vista social como ambiental. En este artículo, comparamos dos modelos de producción ganadera que se suced…
Degrowth scenarios for biodiversity? Key methodological steps and a call for collaboration
Studies show that economic growth contributes to biodiversity loss and that, after a certain threshold, it does not contribute to wellbeing. Thus, when developing biodiversity scenarios, considering societal futures where economic growth is not a pre-condition deserves special attention. However, to date, degrowth scenarios have not been explored for biodiversity conservation and human wellbeing. In this paper, we explain how the Nature Futures F…
Los paisajes agrícolas, forestales y ganaderos
Los paisajes agrarios tradicionales en mosaico, que tanto apreciaba el ecólogo catalán Ramón Margalef por su capacidad de acoger biodiversidad, eran resultado de la energía y la información movidas por el trabajo campesino. Con la industrialización de la agricultura y el abandono de una gestión integrada del territorio, esos mosaicos agroforestales y ganaderos se están desvaneciendo. La pérdida de esta importante herencia biocultural pone en ries…
Sociometabolic research in Latin America
Current agricultural systems have reached a critical transition point in their biophysical performance, social and environmental impacts, and energy patterns. The theoretical underpinnings of transitions towards sustainable futures have been studied from different approaches. The perspective of Social Metabolism (SM) studies how dynamic equilibriums of society-nature interactions arise in complex agroecosystems characterized by specific metabolic…
The open veins of Latin America
Latin America has long played a key role in the global provision of natural resources. Most of the continent's economies are net exporters of low-value, primary products and importers of manufactured goods at a high price. This pattern of specialised trade has highly negative consequences for economic development, the environment, and the local population’s wellbeing. Yet to date, little empirical evidence has been collected on Latin America’s to…
Appendix. Geographic expansion and intensification of coffee-growing in Costa Rica during the Green Revolution (1950-89)
Appendix (annex 2 and 3) to the article: Geographic expansion and intensification of coffee-growing in Costa Rica during the Green Revolution (1950-89): Drivers and outcomes
Geographic expansion and intensification of coffee-growing in Costa Rica during the Green Revolution (1950-89)
This article presents fresh improved aggregated data on coffee-growing regional specialization in Costa Rica between the 1950s to the 1980s and discusses the determinants of the expansion of that coffee cropping frontier with amodel that combines environmental and geo-economic drivers. The model performs amultiregression analysis that includes agroclimatic, land use, demographic, and market access variables to explain the geographical patterns of…
Socio-ecological transition in a Mediterranean agroecosystem
Using several energy returns on investment indicators (multi-EROI), this article analyses the socioecological transition of an agroecosystem in the western Mediterranean on the island of Mallorca (Spain) over a period of 150 years which saw a change from traditional organic farming to a fossil fuel-based system of agriculture. This circular bioeconomic analysis evaluates the agroecosystem's capacity to produce goods by reproducing itself in 1860,…
Las Venas Abiertas De América Latina en La Era Del Antropoceno
Latin America has long played a key role in the global provision of natural resources. Most of the continent’s economies are low-value, primary-product net exporters while they import manufactured goods at a high price. There is a general agreement among researchers from various fields that this pattern of specialize trade has very negative implications for economic development, the environment, and the local population wellbeing. Yet, there is l…
Labour, nature, and exploitation
Exploiting the labour of other people has historically been one of the main strategies to tackle the biophysical tension that always exists between the satisfaction of human needs and the labour required to fulfil them. Based on the insights of ecological, feminist, and Marxist economics, we disentangle the exploitation of the labour of women and labouring poor through a novel methodology that integrates energy, material, time, and cash balances.…

Building an annual series of English wheat production in an intriguing era (1645-1761)
This article presents a method for estimating an annual series of English wheat production in physical units during the intriguing period of 1645-1761, when the English Agricultural Revolution began. It is based on Davenant’s Law and the assumption of a decrease in long-term crop variability, taking into account the yields obtained from probate inventories and farm accounts. The exercise confirms the idea that the King-Davenant accounting of the …

Understanding the long-term dynamics of forest transition
Land-use and rural inequality profiles in the province of Barcelona in mid-nineteenth century
The long-term impact on income inequality of agricultural commercial specialization is still an open-ended discussion. Diverse economic models and approaches offer competing views, while historians increasingly stress the contingent nature of the paths followed in the various contexts. Applying common inequality indices like the Theil index along with new ones such as the inequality possible frontier (IPF) and Inequality Extraction Ratios (IER), …
From feudal colonization to agrarian capitalism in Mallorca
The colonization of Mallorca gave rise to a late-feudal agrarian society that evolved towards capitalism based on large estates owned by noblemen who hired large numbers of wage labourers from among smallholders living in agro-towns, the dispossessed remnants of a formerly wealthier peasantry. These well-off peasants originated from when the colonization frontier was open in the 13th and 14th centuries, but had been defeated when three peasant-pl…
The Onset of the English Agricultural Revolution
The English Agricultural Revolution began during a period of climate change in which temperatures decreased significantly. Lower temperatures meant less bacterial activity, a slower release of mineral nitrogen into cultivated soils, and a shorter growing season for crops-a combination that tended to diminish yields. The English farmers reacted by increasing the flow of organic matter and manure into the soil, thus mitigating the negative effect o…

Looking Backwards into a Mediterranean Edge Environment
We examine the evolution from the mid-nineteenth century to the present of the cultural landscape in two Catalan townships that jointly constitute an edge environment between Mediterranean plain and mountain. This environmental edge has changed over time, from a border between an agricultural plain confronting an area of forestry and livestock-raising in the mid-nineteenth century, to a limit of the Barcelona Metropolitan Region confronting two '…

The Loss of Territorial Efficiency
This study introduces a new concept, that of ‘landscape efficiency’, understood as the state in which the economic flows of social metabolism in a land matrix are improved while maintaining the patterns and processes of landscape ecology as healthy as possible. This concept is used to explore the hypothesis that a serious reduction in this efficiency, typified by significant landscape degradation, underlies the increase observed in external input…

The Grape Phylloxera Plague as a Natural Experiment
This paper analyses the impact in Catalonia of the grape Phylloxera plague in Europe (1865–90). A statistical model is used to analyse the economic resilience of 35 districts in Catalonia to this external ecological and economic shock, and to explain why districts in the provinces of Barcelona and Tarragona resumed growing wine grapes after the plague, in contrast to districts in Girona and Lleida provinces. The opportunity cost of labour, the de…
