Utopías en la era de la supervivencia. Una interpretación del Buen Vivir, hermosa escritura-investigación del colombiano Omar Felipe Giraldo.

Dos acontecimientos inseparables: la manera como habitamos la Tierra, y la manera como la Tierra permite que la habitemos. Abya Yala significa buen vivir-tierra generosa, tierra en florecimiento. Para los quechuas, buen vivir se expresa como sumak kawsay, dos palabras con fuerza ética en tanto que se refieren a cómo habitar el ethos, o sea la casa del hombre, la tierra generosa, madre nutricia y permanente, que permite el permanecer.

As an example, Bangladesh is one country where aquaculture has increased almost eightfold since the early 1990s. This growth has important implications for food and nutrition securities. Yet, there is little research on the determinants and impacts of this growth to document the lessons, identify evolving issues, and guide policy discussions.

Is it right to attach financial values to nature and to incorporate that valuation into the post-2015 agenda? Will such valuation help to protect species diversity and ecosystems?
