Smallholder land use in the southern Yucatan how culture and history matter
A longitudinal survey was applied to 499 smallholder agriculturalist households in Mexico's southern Yucatán region to determine whether different cultural expectations had led to the formation and coexistence of different types of human-environment interactions. A three center cluster analysis was used, and two agricultural adaptive strategies were found to coexist: a diversified subsistence strategy built largely by individuals who were smallholder agriculturalists in their place of origin, and one generated mostly by non-agriculturalists who migrated to the southern Yucatán to make agriculture their business during the last agrarian reform. Each strategy followed unique family trajectories and established distinct human-environment interactions. The findings suggest that those who emphasize commercial agriculture have a better standard of living. Nevertheless, their improved on-farm livelihoods-judged by material, physiological, and educational indicators-comes at the cost of higher risks to their adaptive system and adverse environmental consequences.
