MACIAS MACIAS, Alejandro  y  SEVILLA GARCIA, Yolanda Lizeth. Vulnered Nature. Four Decades of Industrialized Agriculture of Fruits and Vegetables in the South of Jalisco, Mexico (1980-2020). Entrediversidades rev. cienc. soc. humanid. [online]. 2021, vol.8, n.1, pp.64-91.  Epub 04-Mar-2024. ISSN 2007-7610.  https://doi.org/10.31644/ed.v8.n1.2021.a03.

The industrialized production of vegetables and fruits in the South of Jalisco, Mexico has had a spectacular growth in the last four decades. However, its development is largely based on the overexploitation of the environment, a situation that can put at risk the future viability of human life, as well as that of other species. In the use of vulnerable nature concept, this work discusses such impacts in key aspects such as changes in land use and the reduced extension of forests, as well as the decrease in water reserves. These impacts are derived mainly from the growth in avocado plantations since 2000.

Palabras llave : vulnerable nature; fruit and vegetable production; southern Jalisco; forests; water.
