Abitare i conflitti socio-ambientali
Full text linkIl percorso parte dalla definizione di conflitto socio-ambientale visto come momento particolare di confronto tra diversi progetti alternativi di uso del territorio e delle risorse ponendo attenzione al vocabolario usato nell’analisi e nella gestione. La tappa successiva presenta alcuni aspetti da mettere a fuoco per osservare e posizionarsi in un conflitto socio-ambientale: l’evoluzione attraverso le fasi di latenza, visibilità e (in alcuni casi) trasformazione; la mappatura dinamica degli attori coinvolti in un conflitto socio-ambientale, le questioni ambientali oggetto di disputa. Il lavoro propone poi alcune indicazioni operative su come abitare i conflitti socio-ambientali nella prevenzione e gestione dei conflitti che potrebbero integrare la pratica professionale di chi opera nel territorio. Infine uno sguardo retrospettivo e prospettivo alla luce delle esperienze in America Latina su protagonismo nei conflitti socio.ambientali in contesti di depredazione dei territori
Editorial: Agrobiodiversity, Community Participation, and Landscapes in Agroecology
Full text linkThe current model of conventional agriculture on the planet, originated in the so-called “Green Revolution” (GR), has generated positive and negative effects during its more than 80 years of application, starting in the 1940s. Among the negative effects are the accelerated loss of biodiversity and agrobiodiversity. Different alternative farming systems propose managing the agrobiodiversity of agroecosystems (farms) to face many of the problems generated on monoculture farms (e.g., soil and genetic erosion, emergence of genetic resistance in pests and weeds, as well as public health problems associated with the use of agrochemicals), which are characteristic of the current conventional model (Vandermeer and Perfecto, 2005; Pollan, 2007)
The multiple injustice of fossil fuel territories in the Ecuadorian Amazon: Oil development, urban growth, and climate justice perspectives
Full text linkAlongside growing awareness of the historical and ethical dimensions of climate change impacts, little is known
about those territories both sources of fossil fuel extraction as well as not beneficiaries of its benefits, usually
located in developing countries. Our study frames climate justice in the Ecuadorian Amazon Region (EAR),
defined as “urban jungle”, due to urbanization processes linked to oil exploitation. By highlighting the multiple
injustices for local communities, the general aim is showing how these areas are at the same time peripheries of
fossil fuel extraction and national benefits, while also being entangled with the socio-environmental impacts
caused and increased by oil activities. The methodology is based on spatial analysis carried out in GIS envi-
ronment, combining different features (oil production, urban infrastructure, socio-environmental impacts), at
different spatial and temporal scales. Results show that, since the beginning of oil exploitation in 1972 and until
2020, about 6.4 billion barrels were produced in the EAR, in 34 oil blocks located in the central-north sector.
Moreover, between 1985 and 2020, oil exploited EAR has continued to be the most urbanized part, surrounding
and involving indigenous territories and ethnic population in voluntary isolation. Finally, the results highlight
the high density of recorded oil spills, pits and gas flaring sites in historically exploited oil block, and the
extensive distribution of seismic lines in all the EAR, far from human rights obligations of enjoying a safe, clean,
healthy and sustainable environment. In conclusion, our analyses highlight the multiple injustices of these ter-
ritories. Hence climate justice should embrace these territories in its perspectives, by involving them in the
climate justice discourse and promoting the rights for a non-toxic environment. By doing so, scholars, stake-
holders and policymakers might frame clear and just phasing out fossil fuel strategie
