Manejo comunitario de bosques y agroecología
Summary
This report by Friends of the Earth International argues that community forest management and agroecology are interconnected political proposals that offer superior alternatives to industrial agriculture and top-down conservation for protecting biodiversity and ensuring food security.
Key insights
- Industrial agriculture is identified as the primary driver of deforestation, while community-led forest management is described as more effective at protecting forests than traditional conservation approaches.
- Agroecology for food sovereignty provides multiple benefits, including increased income, improved nutrition, enhanced resilience to climate change, and the protection of biodiversity.
- Both agroecology and community forest management are presented as political proposals that prioritize community control over territory, women's autonomy, local markets, and the intrinsic value of nature over market-driven profits.
- These community-led models are currently threatened by the 'green economy', the financialization of nature, agribusiness, and technical visions of agriculture and forest management that lead to food shortages and forest degradation.
