Abstract

The productive inclusion of local communities is one of the main challenges to sustainable rural development in the Amazon. Existing development initiatives often prioritize projects with exogenous production systems; thus, local systems are overlooked, despite their large coverage. Based on surveys conducted in 107 riparian communities and detailed case studies in eight communities doing ranching, logging, and fishing, this study describes local management systems developed by rural communities in the confluence between the Amazon and Xingu Rivers. The study showed that (1) local management systems for buffalo ranching, logging, and fishing agreements were found in 61%, 60%, and 21% of the 107 riparian communities, respectively; (2) these systems are based on local know-how and on technological solutions that are locally available; and (3) the improvement and consolidation of these local systems require governmental support. The study reveals that local and traditional farming practices may underpin sustainable development in the Amazon.
被忽视的解决方案:促进亚马逊地区可持续发展的当地农业系统
当地社区的生产性包容是亚马逊地区农村可持续发展的主要挑战之一。现有的发展倡议往往优先考虑外生生产系统的项目;因此,尽管地方系统覆盖范围很大,但它们却被忽视了。基于对107个河岸社区的调查,以及对8个从事牧场、伐木和渔业的社区的详细案例研究,本研究描述了亚马逊河与新谷河汇合处农村社区开发的地方管理系统。研究表明:(1)在107个河岸社区中,分别有61%、60%和21%的社区建立了水牛放牧、伐木和捕鱼协议的地方管理系统;(2)这些系统以当地专有知识和当地可用的技术解决方案为基础;(3)这些地方系统的完善和巩固需要政府的支持。该研究表明,当地和传统的农业实践可能是亚马逊地区可持续发展的基础。
