  • Oasis America, Mesoamerica Y Aridoamerica
    OASISAMERICA, MESOAMERICA Y ARIDOAMERICA En el transcurso de los siglos, las prácticas culturales y las condiciones del medio ambiente propiciaron en algunas zonas el desarrollo de la agricultura como fuente principal de subsistencia y con ello, se definieron alrededor de 2500 a.C. dos grandes áreas o superáreas culturales: Aridoamérica y Mesoamérica. En el primer espacio la fuente principal de vida siguió siendo la caza y recolección, mientras que en Mesoamérica la vida se hizo sedentaria con base en la agricultura. Con el paso del tiempo, alrededor de 500 a.C., por la mejora de las técnicas de cultivo y de riego y el intercambio cultural parte de Aridoamérica (Suroeste de los E.U. y el Noroeste de México) fue ocupada por pueblos sedentarios. Esta región con cultura mixta se le conoce como Oasisamérica. Fue el antropólogo Paul Kirchhoff quien conceptualizó en 1943 estas tres grandes áreas geográficas-culturales: Aridoamérica, Oasisamérica y Mesoamérica. Queremos destacar que se trata de conceptos y que estas áreas no eran inmutables, sino en constante transformación de acuerdo con el desarrollo de las sociedades. Oasisamérica En algunas regiones semiáridas, haciendo uso de algunos ríos como el Gila y el Asunción en Arizona, los pobladores no quedaron en el nivel del nomadismo gracias a la adopción de nuevas técnicas e instrumentos de trabajo y el intercambio con las culturas mesoamericanas. Así, dentro de Aridoamérica se empezó a distinguir, alrededor de 500 a.C., un área cultural que se conoce como Oasisamérica. Se ubica en parte de los territorios actuales de Arizona, Nuevo México y California en los E.U.

  • Semiarid Ethnoagroforestry Management: Tajos in the Sierra Gorda, Guanajuato, Mexico Vincent M
    Hoogesteger van Dijk et al. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2017) 13:34 DOI 10.1186/s13002-017-0162-y RESEARCH Open Access Semiarid ethnoagroforestry management: Tajos in the Sierra Gorda, Guanajuato, Mexico Vincent M. Hoogesteger van Dijk1, Alejandro Casas1 and Ana Isabel Moreno-Calles2* Abstract Background: The semi-arid environments harbor nearly 40% of biodiversity, and half of indigenous cultures of Mexico. Thousands of communities settled in these areas depend on agriculture and using wild biodiversity for their subsistence. Water, soil, and biodiversity management strategies are therefore crucial for people’s life. The tajos, from Sierra Gorda, are important, poorly studied, biocultural systems established in narrow, arid alluvial valleys. The systems are constructed with stone-walls for capturing sediments, gradually creating fertile soils in terraces suitable for agriculture in places where it would not be possible. We analyzed biocultural, ecological, economic and technological relevance of the artificial oasis-like tajos, hypothesizing their high capacity for maintaining agricultural and wild biodiversity while providing resources to people. Methods: We conducted our research in three sections of the Mezquital-Xichú River, in three communities of Guanajuato, Mexico. Agroforestry management practices were documented through semi-structured and in-depth qualitative interviews. Vegetation composition of local forests and that maintained in tajos was sampled and compared. Results: Tajos harbor high agrobiodiversity, including native varieties of maize and beans, seven secondary crops, 47 native and 25 introduced perennial plant species. Perennial plants cover on average 26.8% of the total surface of plots. Tajos provide nearly 70% of the products required by households’ subsistence and are part of their cultural identity.

  • Admixture and Population Structure in Mexican-Mestizos Based on Paternal Lineages
    Journal of Human Genetics (2012) 57, 568–574 & 2012 The Japan Society of Human Genetics All rights reserved 1434-5161/12 $32.00 www.nature.com/jhg ORIGINAL ARTICLE Admixture and population structure in Mexican-Mestizos based on paternal lineages Gabriela Martı´nez-Corte´s1,5, Joel Salazar-Flores1, Laura Gabriela Ferna´ndez-Rodrı´guez1, Rodrigo Rubi-Castellanos1, Carmen Rodrı´guez-Loya1, Jesu´s Salvador Velarde-Fe´lix2, Jose´ Franciso Mun˜oz-Valle3, Isela Parra-Rojas4 and He´ctor Rangel-Villalobos1,5 In the nonrecombining region of the Y-chromosome, there are single-nucleotide polymorphisms (Y-SNPs) that establish haplogroups with particular geographical origins (European, African, Native American, etc.). The complex process of admixture that gave rise to the majority of the current Mexican population (B93%), known as Mestizos, can be examined with Y-SNPs to establish their paternal ancestry and population structure. We analyzed 18 Y-SNPs in 659 individuals from 10 Mexican-Mestizo populations from different regions of the country. In the total population sample, paternal ancestry was predominately European (64.9%), followed by Native American (30.8%) and African (4.2%). However, the European ancestry was prevalent in the north and west (66.7–95%) and, conversely, Native American ancestry increased in the center and southeast (37–50%), whereas the African ancestry was low and relatively homogeneous (0–8.8%). Although this paternal landscape concurs with previous studies based on genome-wide SNPs and autosomal short tandem repeats (STRs), this pattern contrasts with the maternal ancestry, mainly of Native American origin, based on maternal lineages haplogroups. In agreement with historical records, these results confirm a strong gender-biased admixture history between European males and Native American females that gave rise to Mexican-Mestizos.

  • Putting the Cartel Before the Horse ...And Farm, Seeds, Soil, Peasants, Etc
    Communiqué www.etcgroup.org September 2013 No. 111 Putting the Cartel before the Horse ...and Farm, Seeds, Soil, Peasants, etc. Who Will Control Agricultural Inputs, 2013? In this Communiqué, ETC Group identifies the major corporate players that control industrial farm inputs. Together with our companion poster, Who will feed us? The industrial food chain or the peasant food web?, ETC Group aims to de-construct the myths surrounding the effectiveness of the industrial food system. Table of contents Introduction: 3 Messages 3 Seeds 6 Commercial Seeds 7 Pesticides and Fertilizers 10 Animal pharma 15 Livestock Genetics 17 Aquaculture Genetics Industry 26 Conclusions and Policy Recommendations 31 Introduction: 3 Messages ETC Group has been monitoring the power and global reach of agro-industrial corporations for several decades – including the increasingly consolidated control of agricultural inputs for the industrial food chain: proprietary seeds and livestock genetics, chemical pesticides and fertilizers and animal pharmaceu- ticals. Collectively, these inputs are the chemical and biological engines that drive industrial agriculture. This update documents the continuing concentration (surprise, surprise), but it also brings us to three conclusions important to both peasant producers and policymakers… 1. Cartels are commonplace. Regulators have lost sight of the well-accepted economic principle that the market is neither free nor healthy whenever 4 companies control more than 50% of sales in any commercial sector. In this report, we show that the 4 firms / 50% line in the sand has been substan- tially surpassed by all but the complex fertilizer sector. Four firms control 58.2% of seeds; 61.9% of agrochemicals; 24.3% of fertilizers; 53.4% of animal pharmaceuticals; and, in livestock genetics, 97% of poultry and two-thirds of swine and cattle research.
