2. SLM方法的描述

2.1 该方法的简要说明

Land reclamation with local agave (to produce Mezcal) associated with trees, shrubs and grasses planted through participative actions for economic benefit.

2.2 该方法的详细说明

该方法的详细说明:

Aims / objectives: Rehabilitation of degraded land is achieved by using native agave (Agave inaequidens) and trees, shrubs and grasses which creates, over the medium-term (7-10 year), a sustainable production of an alcoholic drink (mezcal) and/or pharmaceutical products and/or fodder for cattle and/or wood. Further objectives are water conservation, biodiversity, generation of permanent employment (plant reproduction, planting, alcoholic drink/ pharmaceutical production), carbon sequestration, generation of higher family incomes and a reduction in the amount of livestock and number of animals and uncontrolled grazing (the main cause of soil erosion). These positive impacts of the approach contribute to preventing the rural population from emigrating to the cities or abroad.

Methods: Coordination, cooperation and systematic participatory process among stakeholders are the basis of the approach. Promoting participatory processes occurs through workshops, interviews with community leaders, field visits conducted with owners of the land to recognize the problems and identify areas of opportunity, training courses, exchange of experiences with other people who are developing similar projects at different stages. Technical advice and the links with scientists, technicians and public officials in charge of project beneficiaries is given under a two-way process of mutual learning and seeking to strengthen self-management capabilities that inspires innovation at the different stages. The key to success of a participatory approach lies in liberating and developing community leadership and self-organization processes.

Stages of implementation: The project is part of a regional planning context and a basin scale approach of intervention. The watershed of the site project is included in a special programme of the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources of Mexico which gives the opportunity of developing and financing a medium- to long-term project. The participatory process is delivered from planning, organizing, programming and implementing to financing, training, monitoring and disseminating the results. The strategic perspective of the project includes capacity-building of land owners for greenhouse and nursery management, the technical assessment for the improvement of the agave forestry system, guidance with quality production of mezcal and marketing support to diversify products and sell them in order to make the project financially self-sustaining and profitable. All these stages range from short- to medium- and long-term.

Role of stakeholders: The government finances the project through grant resources, promotes the participation of beneficiaries and monitors it, seeking the management of resources and intersectoral participation. Scientists and academics share their knowledge, techniques and methodologies for implementation, improvement, evaluation and monitoring of each stage, and they support capacity-building of the community. The owners of the land and the community implement and develop each of the activities from building and maintaining the greenhouse and nursery, planting agaves, trees and shrubs, to the use and production of mezcal and other commercial products.

2.7 方法的类型

  • Traditional, innovative and project based

2.8 该方法的主要目的/目标

The Approach focused mainly on other activities than SLM (registered alcohol production, cattle fodder, medicine uses, biodiversity conservation, wood)

Rehabilitation of degraded land is done using native agave (Agave inaequidens), trees, shrubs and grasses which creates, over the medium-term (7-10 years) sustainable production of an alcoholic drink (mezcal) and/or pharmaceutical products and/or fodder for cattle and/or wood.

The SLM Approach addressed the following problems: Social and economic problems: Agriculture and livestock in the region are primarily for subsistence. The level of poverty and marginalization of the people of the project site is medium to high with low education levels. People need to migrate to the cities or outside the country to supplement the family budget. Prices of farmer productions are too low and do not allow economic survival. Therefore, only 10 to 20% of the total incomes are derived from agricultural products! This explains why the children of farmers do not want to become farmers and lands are less and less cultivated. In correlation, as the livestock price is good and animals can be raised with little input of time. Thus the number of animals is increasing and as they are grazing everywhere, they have a strong soil erosion impact.

2.9 推动或妨碍实施本办法所适用的技术的条件

社会/文化/宗教规范和价值观
  • 阻碍

The social arrangement of the “ejido” requires all people to agree on moving forward with different activities. The level of education and migration.

Treatment through the SLM Approach: Systematic and constant promotion of the participatory process through community assembly meetings, workshops, community exchange travel, experiences and training. Promote complementarity and targeting of resources from other sectors.

财务资源和服务的可用性/可得性
  • 阻碍

Potential constraints in the final stages of the project when receiving revenue from the sale of mezcal and other products.

Treatment through the SLM Approach: Strengthening capacities of organization and administration, promoting transparency and accountability in the community. Development and consolidation of the formation of cooperatives as an alternative to social enterprise.

机构设置
  • 阻碍

The risk that the six-year change in administration does not follow the care programme in the area.

Treatment through the SLM Approach: Strengthening self-management capabilities of the group of beneficiaries of the project. Involving other government levels and sectors funding training and monitoring of subsequent stages.

法律框架(土地使用权、土地和水使用权)
  • 启动

The existing land ownership, land use rights / water rights greatly helped the approach implementation

  • 阻碍

Federal, state and municipal regulations for preventing clearance of woods, biodiversity uses, forest exploitation, water concessions and water quality must be applied. Mexican official standards of mezcal production must be used

Treatment through the SLM Approach: Conduct a thorough review with a focus on prospective different stages of a project and the legal implications and regulations that must be met at these stages. Inform land owners about their rights, obligations and mechanisms of fulfilment.

了解SLM,获得技术支持
  • 阻碍

Lack of validation and technology transfer of agave forestry. Lack of information on the requirements of these species of agave. Potential risk to move from non-intensive system to an intensive one due to economic and market factors.

Treatment through the SLM Approach: Development of technological packages for an agave forestry system as a basis for the production of mezcal, considering soil erosion levels and system arrangements. Promote only ecologically diversified, non-intensive systems. Design environmental and ecological monitoring stage.

3. 相关利益相关者的参与和角色

3.1 该方法涉及的利益相关者及其职责

  • 当地土地使用者/当地社区

Traditionally, women have been more responsible for the house and the area close to it. They are less involved in the field activities of the agave forestry project, but are involved in production and commercialization. On the other hand, women are worried about the possible impacts of alcoholic drink on communities, because alcoholism is a social concern. There has been no discrimination inside the communities up to now
