Abstract

CANDELARIA-MARTINEZ, Bernardino et al. Agroecosystems Sustainability of the Micro-watershed Paso de Ovejas 1, Veracruz, Mexico. Cuad. Desarro. Rural [online]. 2014, vol.11, n.73, pp.87-104. ISSN 0122-1450.

In this text it is set as a goal the development of an aggregate index for assessing sustainability in the three agroecosystem groups present in the watershed Paso de Ovejas 1 and it was hypothesized that the systems with presence of stockbreeding would have a greater sustainability due to a complementary use of the resources. For the present study, agricultural sustainability was defined as the process of getting agricultural products that meet the population needs through a set of agricultural practices that conserve and improve the quantity and quality of natural resources, and thus ensure their permanence and enhance the performance of the AES over time.

Keywords : rural development; tropical agroecology; ecological stockbreeding; rural development; agricultural ecology.
