ROMAN SUAREZ, Hermax Rubén; GRACIA, María Amalia; ROLDAN RUEDA, Héctor Nicolás e PAT FERNANDEZ, Juan Manuel. Groups and strategies for the biocultural defense of the Felipe Carrillo Puerto territory in Quintana Roo, México. Alteridades [online]. 2021, vol.31, n.61, pp.93-106. Epub 25-Out-2021.

In this article we analyze different collaborative strategies implemented by women, peasants, producer families and civil society organizations to counteract social exclusion, food insecurity and biodiversity loss in Mayan ejidos of the municipality of Felipe Carrillo Puerto, Quintana Roo. Through Participatory Action Research (PAR), which uses tools and methodologies from social anthropology, we explored the interests and motivations involved in the formation of these associative working groups, while concurrently identifying their limitations, advantages and contributions to the biocultural defense of the territory. The results show the importance of adopting agroecological practices to counteract deeply exclusionary structures that prevail within the ejidos. They also reaffirm the need to co-construct and generate public policies and programs according to the particular socio-economic contexts and needs to generate well-being and social inclusion of historically subalternized groups and towns.
