“…Women, through collective action, have pushed back on male-dominated spheres to create spaces that promote AE production and markets in food systems, particularly in South America. These efforts have included creating marketing opportunities, enhancing knowledge, and challenging the discourse and agricultural policy spheres that have long been oriented towards export industries (Cárdenas Solís 2012;Oliver 2016;Freire 2018;Hillenkamp 2020;Mestmacher and Braun 2021), much of it led by women of ethnic minorities such as afro-descendent and indigenous women (Montero 2020).…”

Smallholder, indigenous farmers play a key role in the food system in Ecuador, applying traditional farming practices that ensure the sustainability of their food production and meeting the dietary demands of many urban consumers, especially for organic vegetables and dairy products. This study examines the position of six women's associations in the central Ecuadorian Andes, discussing their evolution from rights-based to market-oriented organizations producing and selling agroecological products. We discuss how the history of these associations has led them to play a role in local politics and national policies around agriculture and highlight how these organizations have succeeded both economically and socially, while also noting the challenges they face, as observed by themselves and outsiders. While the history of women's agroecological production organizations in Ecuador may be unique, as it is entrenched in indigenous rights movements, our results also point to opportunities and obstacles that are more common across small scale farmers and deserve attention from both policymakers and agricultural organizations.

“…Despite the difficulties it may pose, it is considered crucial to increase the research to thoroughly evaluate the impacts of CBET on biodiversity, especially considering that most studies are conducted in protected areas (Figure 7). Finally, the study of the role of women in the development of CBET is highlighted as an emerging focus [122][123][124].…”

Community-based ecotourism (CBET) has emerged as an alternative that seeks to integrate environmental, cultural, social, and economic sustainability through community participation, generating increasing interest in research. In this context, we conducted a bibliometric analysis to understand the research patterns, trends, and gaps associated with scientific production on CBET between 2002 and 2022. To achieve this, articles related to CBET and its variants were extracted from Scopus and Web of Science. A total of 1145 publications were selected. Sustainability is the journal with the most articles published on CBET. The countries with the highest scientific production were the USA and China. Most of the studies were conducted in protected areas. The most used data sources are interviews and case studies. The field research focused on evaluating impacts and identifying perceptions, attitudes, or experiences. Despite the recent increase in the number of publications, there are still gaps related to the inclusion of indigenous populations, the use of quantitative methods in the research, the evaluation of the impact of CBET on biodiversity conservation, and the disparity between countries leading academic production and those developing CBET initiatives. These patterns and gaps suggest areas of opportunity for future research, strategies, and policies in the field of CBET.

This study investigates the intersection of agroecology and sustainable tourism, shedding light on the adaptive resilience within rural communities. Focused on the delicate balance between tourism‐driven economic gains, social‐ecological enhancements, and environmental conservation, the research centers on a case study involving four communities within the Mueang Khong subdistrict of Chiang Dao, Northern Thailand. Methodologically, the fieldwork conducted in 2022 combined ecological and landscape surveys with qualitative methods, including interviews, observations, and document analysis, to capture insights into local communities' perspectives, behaviors, and experiences. By adopting an agroecological approach to tourism, these communities have demonstrated their dynamism of adaptability and resilience in response to challenges posed by existing tourism activities and emerging circumstances. A significant catalyst contributing to this adaptability is the UNESCO recognition of Doi Chiang Dao as a new biosphere reserve, fostering new collaborations among diverse stakeholders and raising awareness regarding positive ecological conservation, food diversity and security, and improved livelihoods. This study argues that the ability to adapt, aiming to cultivate thriving communities and achieve balanced economic growth, responsible tourism, social inclusivity, and resource management, stands as a fundamental pillar for sustainable development in rural areas of Northern Thailand.
