Diversidad biocultural de tomate nativo en Oaxaca, México

JOSE CRUZ CARRILLO RODRIGUEZ NOEL SOSA HERNÁNDEZ SOSA HERNÁNDEZ ARACELI MINERVA VERA GUZMAN JOSE LUIS CHAVEZ SERVIA (2023, [Artículo])

El tomate o jitomate mexicano fue cultivado desde la época precolombina y se comercializaba en el mercado de Tenochtitlán, y la forma silvestre posiblemente migró desde Sudamérica. No obstante, las formas silvestres y cultivadas siguen evolucionando a lo largo de Oaxaca. La geografía oaxaqueña se agrupa en ocho regiones donde se recrea la diversidad del tomate, tanto de las formas silvestres de fruto redondo y pequeño, como de las variedades nativas cultivadas de formas achatadas acostilladas, que son reconocidas con nombres en lenguas originarias y apreciadas por el sabor, aroma y textura que les confieren a los platillos locales.

“We place our hope in the land”: defense of the territory against mining in Ixtacamaxtitlán, Puebla

Veronica Vazquez_Garcia Esteban Martínez Vásquez (2023, [Artículo, Artículo])

Mexico occupies first place in mining exploration in Latin America, a situation that has caused alarm among native peoples because the implementation of extractive projects threatens their vital space. The objective of this paper is to analyze the actions of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) of the Ixtaca Project in Ixtacamaxtitlán, Puebla, as well as the strategies of territorial defense undertaken by the communities to stop its expansion. Data was gathered through one survey, one workshop and various interviews conducted in three communities affected by the project. Results discuss three actions of CSR: 1) job offers; 2) investment in community infrastructure; 3) support for social events. Three main defense strategies were identified: 1) collective agreements refusing to sell water to the company; 2) legal litigations in favor of the right to be consulted as native peoples; 3) the strengthening of peasant agriculture thanks to the defense of the ejido, the conservation of irrigation water and the support received from the federal program Sembrando Vida. The paper concludes that, despite the negative impacts of RCS actions, these strategies have proven effective because mining concessions have been cancelled and some families have returned to agriculture.
