MORALES, Helda; AGUILAR-ST0EN, Mariel Cristina e CASTELLANOS-LOPEZ, Edwin Josué. Migration and Remittances: Are They Affecting Agricultural Sustainability and Food Sovereignty in Chiapas?. LiminaR [online]. 2015, vol.13, n.1, pp.29-40. ISSN 2007-8900.
Here, we contribute to the debate surrounding the impact of international migration and remittances on agriculture. In 2011, we surveyed families with and without migrants in four rural communities in Chiapas regarding their farming practices. We also sampled agrobiodiversity on the land managed by a subset of each group. Contrary to our expectations, the results suggest that out-migration has not spurred agricultural abandonment or substantial changes in the crops planted. Our data suggest that migration and remittances can contribute to sustainable farming practices and food sovereignty.
