Résumé : |
The coastal region of Soconusco covers biodiverse ecosystems in the Encrucijada Biosphere Reserve and large areas of intensive agricultural systems. The environmental problematic is linked to oil palm crops through detrimental farming practices, plantation location and seed dispersion. The results revealed the concentration of agroecological farming practices in oil palm crops and agroforest systems compared to maize crops and pasturelands. The implementation of these practices is effective when accompanied by institutional support, but farmers also integrate environmental and productive arguments in their decision-making. At the territorial level, there are disparities in farmers’ agencies: few independent farmers are accompanied and thus only 18.4% of total oil palm growers have suf[...] The coastal region of Soconusco covers biodiverse ecosystems in the Encrucijada Biosphere Reserve and large areas of intensive agricultural systems. The environmental problematic is linked to oil palm crops through detrimental farming practices, plantation location and seed dispersion. The results revealed the concentration of agroecological farming practices in oil palm crops and agroforest systems compared to maize crops and pasturelands. The implementation of these practices is effective when accompanied by institutional support, but farmers also integrate environmental and productive arguments in their decision-making. At the territorial level, there are disparities in farmers’ agencies: few independent farmers are accompanied and thus only 18.4% of total oil palm growers have sufficient access to knowledge. Considering the reserve and oil palm invasion, the environmental solution must go further than farming practices. There is an existing consensus on an oil palm productive reconversion scenario, however the terms and conditions are unclear. This study highlights the strength of a parcel-scale approach that favours agrobiodiversity and also the necessity of ground-based and local solutions for the vulnerable populations inside the reserve. |
