Agroecología y resiliencia al cambio climático: Principios y consideraciones metodológicas

TLDR
Amarante et al. as discussed by the authors define un marco conceptual and metodologico for poder descifrar los principios y mecanismos claves that explican the resiliencia of the sistemas diversificados, de manera de que estos puedan be transmitidos to other agricultores in cada region and asi mejoren the capacidad de resistencia and de recuperación of their fincas.
Abstract
La mayoria de las estadisticas disponibles que predicen impactos climaticos sobre la agricultura campesina son aproximaciones muy burdas que no toman en cuenta la heterogeneidad de la agricultura campesina-indigena, ni la diversidad de estrategias que los campesinos han utilizado y aun utilizan para enfrentar las sequias, inundaciones, huracanes, etc. Alrededor del mundo muchos campesinos y agricultores tradicionales han respondido a las condiciones climaticas cambiantes demostrando innovacion y resiliencia frente al cambio climatico. Un gran numero de agricultores tradicionales poseen lecciones importantes de resiliencia para los agricultores modernos y diversos expertos han sugerido que el rescate de los sistemas tradicionales de manejo, en combinacion con el uso de estrategias agroecologicas, puede representar la unica ruta viable y solida para incrementar la productividad, la sostenibilidad y la resiliencia de la produccion agricola. En este trabajo se define un marco conceptual y metodologico para poder descifrar los principios y mecanismos claves que explican la resiliencia de los sistemas diversificados, de manera de que estos puedan ser transmitidos a otros agricultores en cada region y asi mejoren la capacidad de resistencia y de recuperacion de sus fincas. Por esto la urgencia de la necesidad de desarrollar una metodologia que permita evaluar la capacidad de los agroecosistemas a resistir y recuperarse de los eventos climaticos severos, con especial enfasis en entender los procesos que explican la resiliencia socio-ecologica observada.

Farmers’ environmental perceptions and preferences regarding climate change adaptation and mitigation actions; towards a sustainable agricultural system in México

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed farmers' preferences regarding the potential implementation of several mitigation and adaptation actions addressing climate change, using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) methodology, and identified and related to their stated attitudes regarding risks using the Multiple Price List (MPL) lotteries approach.

Operationalization and Measurement of Social-Ecological Resilience: A Systematic Review

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an analysis of how social-ecological resilience has been operationalized and measured, which is crucial to understand systems complexity and dynamics and for clarifying empirical cases of monitoring programmes in ways that enrich their utility and explanatory power.

Social and Ecological Resilience: Are They Related?

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors define social resilience as the ability of groups or communities to cope with external stresses and disturbances as a result of social, political and environmental change, and explore potential links between social resilience and ecological resilience.

A complementation analysis of the restriction and modification of DNA in Escherichia coli.

TL;DR: Intercistronic complementation was observed between three classes of restriction and modification mutants of E. coli B, indicating that at least three cistron (the ram cistrons) are involved in the genetic control of the [restriction and modification of DNA].

Resilience in Agriculture through Crop Diversification: Adaptive Management for Environmental Change

Brenda B. Lin
- 01 Mar 2011 - 
TL;DR: Crop diversification can improve resilience by engendering a greater ability to suppress pest outbreaks and dampen pathogen transmission, which may worsen under future climate scenarios, as well as by buffering crop production from the effects of greater climate variability and extreme events.

Does Adaptive Management of Natural Resources Enhance Resilience to Climate Change

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that societies and communities dependent on natural resources need to enhance their capacity to adapt to the impacts of future climate change, particularly when such impacts could lie outside their experienced coping range.
