Tema(s): Recursos en línea: Resumen: This study analyses the role of agroecological practices and cooperativism as a response to socio-ecological vulnerability in one of the poorest and most degraded rural regions in Mexico. It explores the case of an indigenous cooperative whose presence allows members market for their products; however, its agreement with a major supermarket chain increases their dependence and vulnerability. Despite facing chronicle shortage of financial resources and a violent context, the cooperative has strengthened social capital and response capacity, building on traditional community norms. Agroecology is conceived beyond farming practices and contributes to food sovereignty, education and natural resource conservation.
