¿El uso de plantas medicinales silvestres contribuye a la conservación de bosques? El caso de Santiago Camotlán, Oaxaca.
Provedor de dados: 32
Autores: Pérez Nicolás, Mónica Laura.
La comunidad de Santiago Camotlán, principalmente zapoteca, se ubica en la Sierra Norte de Oaxaca; cuenta con vegetación con poco disturbio (bosque mesófilo, selva mediana subperennifolia y selva alta perennifolia) y una tradición viva de usar plantas medicinales. La meta principal del trabajo fue investigar si el uso de plantas medicinales podía ser un motivo parcial para la conservación de bosques. Para contestar la pregunta, se requiere: 1. La clasificación del territorio, 2. Un inventario y una evaluación de la importancia relativa de las especies medicinales y 3. El análisis de la relación entre vegetación, especies medicinales y conservación. En esta tesis se describen la distribución de las plantas medicinales, los patrones de uso y conocimiento de...

Combining revealed and stated preference methods to assess the private value of agrobiodiversity in Hungarian home gardens
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Birol,   Ekin; Kontoleon,   Andreas; Smale,   Melinda.
Hungarian home gardens are small-scale farms managed by farm households using traditional management practices and family labor. They generate private benefits for farmers by enhancing diet quality and providing food when costs of transacting in local markets are high. Home gardens also generate public benefits for society by supporting long-term productivity advances in agriculture. In this paper, we estimate the private value to farmers of agrobiodiversity in home gardens. Building on the approach presented in EPTD Discussion Paper 117 (2004), we combine a stated preference approach (a choice experiment model) and a revealed preference approach (a discrete-choice, farm household model). Both models are based on random utility theory. To combine the...

USING A CHOICE EXPERIMENT TO ESTIMATE THE DEMAND OF HUNGARIAN FARMERS FOR FOOD SECURITY AND AGROBIODIVERSITY DURING ECONOMIC TRANSITION
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Birol,   Ekin; Kontoleon,   Andreas; Smale,   Melinda.
Hungarian home gardens are small farms that are repositories of agrobiodiversity and provide food security during economic transition. We use a choice experiment to test the hypothesis that farmer demand for home gardens will decrease as markets develop with European Union accession. Data represent 22 communities with varying levels of market and social infrastructure. We find that farmers located in more economically developed communities choose to be less dependent on small farms for food and prefer lower levels of agrobiodiversity. Findings indicate that the survival of small farms is jeopardized by economic change, but point to some conservation policy options.
