“…In the meantime, the analysis of family information was performed based on the approaches and criteria of regional rural development theory (C de Grammont, 2004;Peet, 1996), territorial rural development (Berdegue et al, 2011), new institutional economy (Echeverri and Ribero, 2002;Bonnal et al, 2003;Sepulveda et al, 2005, Ramírez, 2006 and those related to agro-ecology (Altieri, 1987;Hernández X, 1977;Palerm, 1980;Sevilla and Woodgate, 2002).…”

ResumenLos problemas de crecimiento poblacional, escasez de alimentos, sobreexplotación y contaminación de los recursos naturales, así como el desempleo y bajo nivel de ingresos en el medio rural obligan a considerar la importancia del traspatio como unidad de producción de subsistencia y ahorro. En el presente trabajo se describen y analizan las condiciones socioeconómicas asociadas al manejo y aprovechamiento del traspatio, cuya diversidad de especies vegetales y animales son base de estrategias de vida de la unidad doméstica campesina en relación con su subsistencia y bienestar. La información se obtuvo en 2013 a través de una encuesta por muestreo estadístico en la localidad de Nolo, municipio de Tixkokob, ubicada en la ex zona henequenera de Yucatán, mientras que en el análisis del traspatio se le consideró como un agro-ecosistema y su análisis se basó en las teorías del desarrollo rural. Los resultados obtenidos permitieron concluir que las condiciones de riqueza y abundancia de las especies vegetales y animales en el traspatio le confieren a éste el papel de proveedor complementario de alimentos durante todo el año, al igual que el acceso a las plantas medicinales, ocupación e ingresos eventuales, así como banco de conservación del germoplasma de especies vegetales y animales. Se concluye que la agro-biodiversidad en el traspatio permite la disponibilidad de los recursos destinados al consumo y al mercado, garantizando así la autosuficiencia alimentaria rural.Palabras clave: agroecosistema, desarrollo rural, producción familiar, subsistencia.

In this study, the socioeconomic conditions associated with management and exploitation of backyards, whose diversity of plant and animal species are the basis for life strategies in the peasant domestic unit related to their subsistence and wellbeing, are described and analyzed. The information required was obtained in 2013 with a survey by statistical sampling in the location of Nolo, municipality of Tixkokob, located in a former henequen zone in Yucatán, while the backyard was considered as an agro-ecosystem for its analysis, which was based on the theories of rural development. The results obtained allowed concluding that the wealth and abundance conditions of plant and animal species in the backyard give it the role of complementary food supplier throughout the year, as well as access to medicinal plants, occasional occupations and income, and a conservation bank of plant and animal species' germplasm. It is concluded that agro-biodiversity in the backyard permits the availability of resources destined to consumption and the market, thus gu...

“…There is clearly much differentiation between such groups in their politics, organisation, and ambition. In particular there are a number of historical tensions between past acts and misunderstandings between Indigenous people and environmental organisations often concerning dispossession of land for environmental protection, and these shape how different groups are now received (Adams and Mulligan, 2003;Peet and Watts, 1996).…”

Finding common ground? Spaces of dialogue and the negotiation of Indigenous interests in environmental campaigns in Australia

Critiquing the usefulness of cosmopolitanism this paper argues that we need a more nuanced and subtle understanding of how commonalities are found, created and maintained across difference. This paper uses two juxtapositions of perspective (around place and environment) to explore how such boundaries of difference can be negotiated. It uses an examination of the ways in which environmental groups in Australia have sought to negotiate Indigenous interests through creating spaces of dialogue and changing working practices. It is based on thirty interviews with both Indigenous and non-Indigenous activists across two case regions; Cape York (Queensland) and Barmah-Millewa (Victoria/New South Wales). Four issues were identified that have proved particularly contentious in negotiations to build collaborative campaigns: language; power and ownership; scale and timeframes; and economics. There are examples of both successes and ongoing problematic practices across these tensions. However there is also a growing mutual ownership of the issues. Moving beyond a colonial paternal sense of responsibility, to a dynamic and engaged mutuality of concern for both processes and outcomes has resulted in gradual, small, and progressive steps forward in Indigenous/ nonIndigenous collaborative environmental campaigning.

“…The new Third World development slogan, 'trade, not aid', captures this shift. Over the past decade or so, greater faith has been placed in the potential of free trade, privatisation and the market to address problems of underdevelopment and environmental repair and stabilisation in the Third World (Watts 1991;Peet and Watts 1993;Schroeder 1995). This incorporates an emphasis on the efficient allocation of property rights, including rights of access to forest resources, and on the development of new international markets for these resources.…”
