Reconversion of Agri-Food Production Systems and Deagrarianization in Spain: The Case of Cantabria

Carmen Delgado-Vinas

Summary: Deagrarianization refers to the dwindling importance of agrarian activity in rural areas, as seen in the decline in agricultural production and income. It not only has economic consequences but also erodes the rural population's role in territorial organization and social functioning. However, the shift towards the service economy has led to the emergence of new forms of rurality. This paper focuses on the case of Cantabria in Spain to gain insights into rural deagrarianization processes, using indicators related to agriculture, livestock, forestry, and occupational structure.

The forest transition as a window of opportunity to change the governance of common-pool resources: The case of Mexico's Mixteca Alta

Matthew Lorenzen et al.

Summary: The concept of windows of opportunity refers to circumstances or events that trigger and promote governance changes for more sustainable management of ecosystems and common-pool resources. Case study in Mexico's Oaxaca state shows that demographic, socioeconomic, and land-use changes, along with the emergence of new institutions and organizations, provided a window of opportunity for communities to change the governance of their forests and grazing lands. This resulted in the expansion of wooded areas in a positive feedback loop.

Mining, Urban Growth, and Agrarian Changes in the Atacama Desert: The Case of the Calama Oasis in Northern Chile

Matias Calderon-Seguel et al.

Summary: Latin American rural territories have undergone significant transformations since the mid-twentieth century, mainly due to the expansion of large-scale operations exploiting natural resources and low processing levels for world export. Mining and urban growth have promoted certain agricultural and livestock activities under specific economic and political conditions, while also leading to increased urbanization of rural land and growing deagrarianization in other contexts.
