Apresento, neste ensaio (autora), um breve histórico sobre a questão agrícola na região do Monte Pascoal e a forma como os modos cotidianos de resistência Pataxó foram capazes de promover a perpetução de saberes e práticas agrícolas tradicionais de gestão da agrobiodiversidade em detrimento do avanço das mudanças ambientais e dos projetos de modernização dos sistemas agrícolas. Ainda, demonstro como esses modos de vida possibilitaram a adaptação de conceitos e práticas advindas de atores externos, como técnicos, ambientalistas e planejadores, inovando-os através de mecanismos próprios que a

Introducción​ constituyente
La situación actual por la que atraviesa el país da cuenta de temas pendientes, no solo en el ámbito político sino fundamentalmente constitucional.
Son tiempos de constituyente para cambiar una constitución que no llegó a su mayoría de edad. Nuestra carta magna con una cortísima historia de afecciones y desafecciones, hoy es amenazada de ser lanzada al cesto de la basura de la historia. Junto a ella todos los derechos reconocidos, entre otros, los de los pueblos indígenas.

 
COMPLEJAS CONJUNCIONES: CAMBIO CLIMÁTICO Y REPRIMARIZACIÓN DE LAS ECONOMÍAS
Karen Mercado Andia *
Hace pocos días, como salidas de algún filme, rondaban imágenes de Chicago con temperaturas extremas de bajo cero, recordándonos, pero esta vez de manera rotunda, los comentarios cotidianos de los cambios en el clima, entre ellos: el calor esta insoportable o este frío no lo habíamos sentido nunca, las lluvias se han retrasado y no podemos empezar la sembrar, la sequía es cada vez más larga… comentarios que estación tras estación se hacen más recurrentes.

Smallholder farming constitutes an important but marginalized sector, responsible for most of the world’s agricultural production. This has a significant influence in the land use/cover change process and agrobiodiversity conservation, especially in mountainous regions of the developing world. Thus, the maintenance of sustainable smallholder farming systems represents a key condition for sustainable land management and to safeguard the livelihoods of millions of rural households.

This article aims to outline new data on the urbanization of Populonia starting from its foundation, with particular reference to the results of archaeological surveys carried out by the University of Siena since the 1980s. The landscape archaeology approach has allowed us to reconstruct the Etruscan city’s organization of settlements as well as its management of resources. In addition, this investigative tool has proven the most effective method to detect both places of economic or ideological centrality and specific liminal landscapes in the territory of Populonia.

Water is an important element for the conservation of ecosystems and for human wellbeing. Recently, there has been a loss of awareness about the value of this resource, which requires scientific and practical action to encourage the rise of a new cultural attitude regarding water. Tourism gives water resources great potential, because it facilitates the development of such attractive resources, combining their protection with respectful use. However, studies that have explored the water tourism–territory relationship are still scarce.

The recent global surge in large-scale foreign land acquisitions marks a radical transformation of the global economic and political landscape. Since land that attracts capital often becomes the site of expulsions and displacement, it also leads to new forms of migration. In this paper, I explore this connection from the perspective of a political philosopher. I argue that changes in global land governance unsettle the congruence of political community and bounded territory that we often take for granted.

An evolving land governance context compounds the case for practitioners to closely track developments as they unfold. While much research sheds light on key trends, questions remain about approaches for collective bottom-up analysis led by land governance practitioners themselves. This study presents findings from an initiative to test such an approach. Drawing on written submissions made in response to an open call for contributions, the study discusses global trends in land governance over the period 2015–2018.
