In this systematic review, we look to the long-established medical relationship between humans and stingless bees support notion that health conservation research needs differently at examples of human biodiversity. Through PRISMA statement, synthesized 1128 Web Science references 2000 2024 regarding clinical or experimental therapeutic applications bee bioproducts (honey propolis) for health. We aligned trend with 2023’s leading morbidities in Mexico people’s perceptions healing experiences using bioproducts. found honey propolis 28 species can aid treating 8 out 19 most prevalent diseases Mexico, primarily cancer, type-2 diabetes, obesity, COVID-19. Although there is limited evidence from studies Americas, people actively contribute as stewards biodiversity by recognizing appreciating benefits these offer. conclude traditional meliponiculture systems safeguard knowledge be used improve socio-ecosystem This significant strengthening locally based healthcare while fostering collaborative tropical landscape conservation.

Constructing an Indigenous knowledge approach to agroecology and regenerative agriculture: The case of Yucatec Maya

Elementa Science of the Anthropocene, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 13(1)

Yucatec Maya farmers are abandoning traditional sustainable practices. At least 75% already using conventional practices related to unprecedented challenges from climate change, loss of biodiversity, natural resources degradation, and the like. Thus, call for transforming broken food systems also includes Indigenous systems. Two major approaches being implemented in region transform systems: one is based on agroecology other regenerative agriculture. However, there basically no research that shows how articulate these with knowledge. Under premise more thinking regarding their understood, stronger co-creation process knowledge nonlocal ways knowing (e.g., science), thus increasing probability long-term success through or Our article uncovers key about design management system. Concepts such as system, diversity, certainty uncertainty, security, sufficiency, sovereignty present planning which turn explains high level resilience sustainability. This type should be appreciated, recognized, incorporated into processes transformation.

Las parcelas mexicanas fueron un campo de disputa entre dos modelos agroproductivos en la primera mitad del siglo XX. Resultado las presiones demográficas y los proyectos desarrollo industrial urbano que impulsaron gobiernos emanados Revolución Mexicana, posteriormente intereses económicos geopolíticos gobierno estadounidense Fundación Rockefeller, se buscó modernizar agricultura tradicional mediante semillas mejoradas, agroquímicos maquinaria agrícola otros elementos. Si bien algunas regiones país dichos componentes rápidamente incorporados, otras partes generaron reacciones alerta oposición por riesgos problemas sociales, económicos, ambientales e incluso creía podían generar. Y motivaron también el investigaciones para encontrar alternativas a mencionados. Proponemos que, medida dichas manifestaciones cuestionaron pertinencia tecnologías agroindustriales buscaron desde una perspectiva ecológica, constituyen antecedentes fundamentales historia agroecología mexicana.

Abstract We focus on alternative innovation pathways for addressing agricultural sustainability challenges in Odisha, India. The first pathway that we term as industrial, is focused breeding new seed varieties modern laboratories and test fields, ostensibly climate resilience. It driven by public scientific institutions private corporations. second call agroecological, grounded saving sharing of diverse local varieties, largely Indigenous (Adivasi) smallholders their allies civil society. Using the pathways’ descriptions bases, present perspectives different professional groups who appraise how effectively each addresses a range issues. While all participants agroecological to be clearly better performing biodiversity cultural uses rice, appraisals issues economy, accessibility, stress tolerance, nutrition diverged from other. An overall picture support one did not emerge. Embracing such ambiguities uncertainties associated with appraisals, argue balancing political between pathways. Greater structurally marginalised may crucial meet goals. This can include restitution lands other socio-ecological resources well guaranteeing autonomy Adivasi (Indigenous) communities among whom thrive.
