“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.

Comportamiento agronómico de la variedad Chichén Itzá: maíz de alta calidad proteica desarrollada en Yucatán

MONICA GUADALUPE LOZANO CONTRERAS GENOVEVO RAMIREZ JARAMILLO (2022, [Artículo])

El maíz es un alimento muy completo, que contiene muchas vitaminas y minerales que favorecen nuestro metabolismo. Sin embargo, la proteína del grano de maíz es deficiente en la proporción de lisina y triptofano, aminoácidos esenciales para el ser humano. Lo que podría conllevar a una desnutrición, de manera especial en niños, madres, lactantes y ancianos. Como alternativa a la escasa calidad y baja producción del maíz, en los últimos años y en diversos países se ha trabajado con los llamados “maíces de calidad proteínica” (o QPM, del inglés quality protein maize). Si se lograra aumentar el consumo de los maíces de calidad proteínica en la población, especialmente la rural, se podría mejorar el nivel nutricional en México.

Recent advances on research of native prawn Macrobrachium americanum (Decapoda: Palaemonidae) with aquaculture and conservation purposes

"Where good management practices on aquaculture are mandatory. The economic and ecological importance of prawns of the Genus Macrobrachium cause an impact at a global level involving economic, academic and social aspects. Macrobrachium americanum appears as one of the genus species with high nutritional value and an economic demand in the national and international markets, as well as a vital income for fisherman and producers of this species. For researchers, it is a challenge to find solutions to culture and propose conservation measures for M. americanum with emphasis on development, nutrition and reproduction. Although there are scientific studies supporting the economic importance of this species, our knowledge about its cultivation, reproduction and conservation is limited. This paper summarizes the latest studies made in cooperation with M. americanum in research lead by the Centro de Investigaciones Biológicas del Noroeste, Mexico. After several years of continuous research, it is considered that those efforts have produced useful information for the sustainable exploitation, conservation and basic management practices of this species."
