Uso de sensores remotos para la gestión sustentable de recursos hídricos y seguridad hídrica en zonas agrícolas

WALDO OJEDA BUSTAMANTE RONALD ERNESTO ONTIVEROS CAPURATA JORGE FLORES VELAZQUEZ EDGAR YURI MENDOZA CAZARES MAURO IÑIGUEZ COVARRUBIAS Braulio Robles ALBERTO GONZALEZ SANCHEZ (2017, [Documento de trabajo])

El objetivo del proyecto fue desarrollar y validar metodología usando sensores remotos para mejorar la estimación remota de variables hidroagrícolas, con alta variabilidad espacial y temporal, de importancia para la gestión sustentable de zonas de riego del país usando imágenes de alta resolución espacial y temporal. El trabajo de campo se llevó a cabo en la zona agrícola del distrito de riego 075 Río Fuerte, en el estado de Sinaloa, cubriendo una superficie de 22,000 hectáreas.

Proyecto ejecutivo para la tecnificación del riego de la unidad de riego "Juan Catalán Berbera", A.C. Tixtla, Gro.

Juan Manuel Angeles HELENE EMMI KARIN UNLAND WEISS (2007, [Documento de trabajo])

La comunidad de Tixtla, municipio de Tixtla, Guerrero, tiene una superficie de riego de 280.3 ha, para 453 usuarios beneficiados. Se abastece con agua de la presa de almacenamiento "Juan Catalán Berbera", con un gasto total de entrega de 300 l/s. Los cultivos principales son maíz, calabacita, fríjol ejotero, cempazuchitl y margarita. Actualmente la red de conducción parcelaria e ínter parcelaria está en canales y regaderas de tierra, teniendo bastantes pérdidas de agua por filtración y grandes tiempos de espera para la entrega del agua a cada parcela; en el presente proyecto de tecnificación se propone el entubamiento de la red de conducción parcelaria e ínter parcelaria y la mejora de la aplicación del riego en parcela.

Necessity as a driver in bending agricultural gender norms in the Eastern Gangetic Plains of South Asia

Pragya Timsina Emma Karki Brendan Brown (2023, [Artículo])

The majority of the farmers in the rural Global South continue to depend directly or indirectly on agriculture for their livelihoods. Despite the fact that women account for almost half of the world's farmers, they face gender-specific challenges such as deeply rooted cultural and social norms that limit their access to land, assets, financial markets, agricultural training, and information. Using semi-structured interviews with farmers in the Eastern Gangetic Plains, this study investigates how necessity is becoming one of the major drivers in the bending of agricultural gender norms. The study investigates the connections between feminist political ecology and agricultural technology production frameworks in order to comprehend the implications of technology adoption and influences on gender norms in communities. Women's participation in agriculture was found to be heavily influenced by social and cultural barriers, and they were frequently subjected to social criticism for breaking the systemic gender norms. This paper emphasizes on the growing pattern of bending gender norms with recommendations for increasing women's participation and scope in future agriculture development initiatives through policies and interventions that emphasize gender equity.

Using microsatellite data to estimate the persistence of field-level yield gaps and their drivers in smallholder systems

Balwinder-Singh Meha Jain (2023, [Artículo])

One way to meet growing food demand is to increase yields in regions that have large yield gaps, including smallholder systems. To do this, it is important to quantify yield gaps, their persistence, and their drivers at large spatio-temporal scales. Here we use microsatellite data to map field-level yields from 2014 to 2018 in Bihar, India and use these data to assess the magnitude, persistence, and drivers of yield gaps at the landscape scale. We find that overall yield gaps are large (33% of mean yields), but only 17% of yields are persistent across time. We find that sowing date, plot area, and weather are the factors that most explain variation in yield gaps across our study region, with earlier sowing associated with significantly higher yield values. Simulations suggest that if all farmers were able to adopt ideal management strategies, including earlier sowing and more irrigation use, yield gaps could be closed by up to 42%. These results highlight the ability of micro-satellite data to understand yield gaps and their drivers, and can be used to help identify ways to increase production in smallholder systems across the globe.

Local markets and food security. The case of the Milpera and Puuc regions in Yucatan

Ana Laura Bojórquez Carrillo Monserrat Vargas Jiménez Mireya Noemi Hernández Islas (2023, [Artículo, Artículo])

Food insecurity is a complex problem worldwide. A major part of this problem is the food supply. Local markets can represent a strategy for building social capital, as well as strategies for subsistence and sustainability of food value chains, contributing to food security and its effects. The objective of this research is to determine if the existence of a municipal market in the Milpera and Puuc regions of Yucatán favors the existence of food security, the consumption or the expense of natural foods. The population is located in 18 municipalities of Yucatán, Mexico. To carry out this study, a cross-sectional, non-experimental study, with a quantitative approach and correlational scope. The main techniques that were applied were descriptive statistics and contingency tables with respect to 6 hypotheses. This work shows that the existence of markets in the communities makes a significant difference because it positively impacts the food security of the inhabitants, since it allows them to have access to a wider variety of products and at the same time, favors the active dynamics of the economy of the community.
