ABSTRACT

A growing body of literature supports agroecology as a pathway to climate resilience – a claim steadily being adopted by development institutions. However, agroecology's agrarian limitations are often overlooked. Politically contested understandings of resilience introduce further confusion. Agroecological claims of superior climate resiliency cannot be understood in isolation from the socially unsustainable conditions of many smallholders, especially women. Reviewing agroecological resilience at different scales, we find that the theoretical approach to resilience in development discourse poorly accounts for agrarian vulnerability/resilience. We revisit the birthplace of the Campesino a Campesino movement in Guatemala where resilience intersects with agroecology and longstanding agrarian demands.

摘要

越来越多的文献支持生态农业作为实现气候适应能力的途径——发展机构稳步采用这一主张。然而，农业生态学的农业局限性往往被忽视。对弹性的政治上有争议的理解带来了进一步的混乱。不能脱离许多小农，尤其是妇女的社会不可持续条件来理解具有优越气候弹性的农业生态学主张。回顾不同尺度的农业生态复原力，我们发现发展话语中复原力的理论方法不能很好地解释农业脆弱性/复原力。我们重温了危地马拉的 Campesino a Campesino 运动的发源地，在那里恢复力与农业生态学和长期的农业需求相结合。
