Women, economic resilience, gender norms in a time of climate change: what do we know?

Cathy Farnworth Anne Rietveld Rachel Voss Angela Meentzen (2023, [Artículo])

This literature delves into 82 research articles, published between 2016 and 2022, to develop a deep understanding of how women manage their lives and livelihoods within their agrifood systems when these systems are being affected, sometimes devastatingly, by climate change. The Findings show that four core gender norms affect the ability of women to achieve economic resilience in the face of climate change operate in agrifood production systems. Each of these gender norms speaks to male privilege: (i) Men are primary decision-makers, (ii) Men are breadwinners, (iii) Men control assets, and (iv) Men are food system actors. These gender norms are widely held and challenge women’s abilities to become economically resilient. These norms are made more powerful still because they fuse with each other and act on multiple levels, and they serve to support other norms which limit women’s scope to act. It is particularly noteworthy that many institutional actors, ranging from community decision-makers to development partners, tend to reinforce rather than challenge gender norms because they do not critically review their own assumptions.

However, the four gender norms cited are not hegemonic. First, there is limited and intriguing evidence that intersectional identities can influence women’s resilience in significant ways. Second, gender norms governing women’s roles and power in agrifood systems are changing in response to climate change and other forces, with implications for how women respond to future climate shocks. Third, paying attention to local realities is important – behaviours do not necessarily substantiate local norms. Fourth, women experience strong support from other women in savings groups, religious organisations, reciprocal labour, and others. Fifth, critical moments, such as climate disasters, offer potentially pivotal moments of change which could permit women unusually high levels of agency to overcome restrictive gender norms without being negatively sanctioned. The article concludes with recommendations for further research.

Tutoring to novel teachers. A fragment of skylight from the border of Ciudad Juarez

Silvia Gabriela Alvídrez Minora (2022, [Artículo, Artículo])

This article describes and interprets the tutoring of novice teachers in a preschool area of ​​Ciudad Juarez. The study is situated in the interpretive paradigm; It makes use of the ethnographic method and research techniques such as participant observation and interview. The partial results show that tutoring is considered an important process for the insertion and professionalization of new teachers; however, it is mentioned that this enriching relationship is only possible when there is communication between all the people involved in the tutoring, in addition to being open to peer learning.

Uso de tecnología geoespacial en la nivelación de tierras con propósito de diseño y trazo de riego superficial: metodología

VICTOR MANUEL GORDILLO SALINAS Alberto González Sánchez RONALD ERNESTO ONTIVEROS CAPURATA (2020, [Documento de trabajo])

RD1912.1

La exactitud de un levantamiento hecho con un vehículo aéreo no tripulado (VANT) es el resultado de diversas variables como el diseño del vuelo, calidad y metodología de modelación de la cámara, algoritmos de estructura del movimiento y estrategias de georreferenciación. Por otro lado, la nivelación de tierras es una actividad que consiste en realizar cortes en las partes altas de una parcela y transportarla a las partes más bajas de la misma. En agricultura de riego superficial esta actividad aporta grandes ventajas como: ahorro de agua, mano de obra y energía, alta uniformidad en la aplicación del agua (con diseño y manejo adecuados), mayor eficiencia en el uso de fertilizantes, operación más eficiente de la maquinaria, control de la erosión y mejoramiento del drenaje superficial. Debido a la importancia de dicha actividad, el objetivo de este trabajo es desarrollar y validar una metodología para el levantamiento topográfico usando imágenes aéreas tomadas con un VANT y que dicha metodología pueda ser una herramienta que pueda dar un seguimiento periódico a las necesidades de nivelación de un terreno agrícola.

Contribución de las energías renovables en el desarrollo rural de México

ERIKA ROMAN MONTES DE OCA ALEJANDRO GARCIA FLORES (2023, [Artículo])

Este artículo presenta los resultados de una investigación sobre el uso e impacto de las energías

renovables en el desarrollo rural de México. Se encontró que se han financiado diversos proyectos para incluirlos en actividades de producción agrícola y para alumbrado de comunidades rurales; sin embargo, de acuerdo con el reporte de los objetivos de desarrollo sustentable, aún hay muchos retos que afrontar. Lograr que 100 por ciento de la población rural mexicana cuente con energía propiciaría una mejora en las condiciones de vida.

This paper presents the results of a piece of research on the use and impact of renewable energies in rural development in Mexico. It was found that various projects have been financed to be included in agricultural production activities and for the lighting of rural communities; however, according to the report of the sustainable development goals, there are still many challenges to face. Ensuring that 100% of the Mexican rural population has energy would lead to an improvement in living conditions.

The Mexican environmental flow standard: scope, application and implementation

MARIA ANTONIETA GOMEZ BALANDRA MARIA DEL PILAR SALDAÑA FABELA MARICELA MARTINEZ JIMENEZ (2014, [Artículo])

With the implementation of the Official Mexican Standard NOM-011-CONAGUA-2000, the water balance of 730 basins has been calculated and its water availability agreement is published. This rule points out to allocate water for the environment only as an annual volume since methods for estimating environmental flows were not standardized in the country. In this paper, an analysis of the environmental flow standard and examples of the suggested hydrological methods are presented. For its implementation, some steps are taking place, mainly establishing environmental water reserves and building capacities. In addition, environmental allocations are becoming a common practice for all water projects, as well as setting limits to hydrological alterations by hydroelectric dams. The standard promotes the use of technical integration tools to analyze the responses of ecosystems to changes in the flow regime and adaptive management under different scenarios of water use. Although the main steps have been taken, its implementation as mandatory rule will take time.
