“…Based on the structural methodological guidelines proposed by (90)(91)(92)(93)(94)(95), the methodology for calculating AgRI is made up of the following phases: i) selection of categories, components and parameters; ii) weighting of the categories, components and parameters; iii) assignment of the interpretation scales of the parameters; iv) equation for the calculation of the Agroecosystemic Resilience Index (AgRI); and finally, v) interpretation of the Agroecosystemic Resilience Index (AgRI).…”

Agricultural production systems, subjects of study in agroecology, are non-equilibrium open systems permanently influenced by the action of natural or anthropogenic disturbances or “ripple effects.” Faced with this situation, agroecosystems tend to maintain a state of functional equilibrium in time and space, through an emergent property known as resilience. This concept is related to the dissipative capacity of agroecosystems to interact with the disturbance in such a way as to allow it to preserve its functionality and basic structure, through attenuation of the effect that disturbs the system. The literature reports diverse methods with a variable number of indicators or criteria for the evaluation or analysis of resilience. Many of these present conceptual deficiencies considering that the components of the system have similar characteristics and linear responses, that is, they do not show changes due to the action or nature of the disturbance. In this sense, there is a need to propose a generic method to analyze and evaluate agroecosystemic resilience, through a complex and comprehensive approach that takes into consideration the interaction of physical, biotic, socioeconomic or symbolic components of the system. These interactions are differential (weighted), to facilitate decision-making by the community, farmers, or administrators, regarding adaptations, adjustments or modifications that allow the agroecosystem to maintain its productivity and permanence.

“…Therefore, all measurement units were transformed to a standard 0 to 5 scale, where 0 represents the lowest level of resilience and 5 the greatest. This methodological strategy has been utilized and validated in several similar studies (68–76). The values were negotiated in a participatory manner, employing questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, expert opinion and literature review.…”

AbstractThis article proposes a conceptual and methodological framework for analyzing agroecosystem resilience, which incorporates agrarian structure and peasant community agency. The methodology is applied to a comparison of two peasant communities in Latin America (Brazil and Colombia), emphasizing the capacity to transform unsustainable power structures in place of adapting to them. This application demonstrates that when agency is strongly developed, as in the case of Brazil, it is possible to transform structural conditions that restrict resilience. The inclusion and consideration of biophysical variables, management practices, agrarian structure and agency, through a participatory approach, allows for the identification of factors that inhibit or potentiate the resilience of agroecosystems.

Although there are different methodologies for evaluating the sustainability of urban areas in Latin America, they usually apply to a specific city as a whole and cannot be generalized to other cities; besides, they do not address smaller urban units, such as the district, and rarely approach all sustainability dimensions. This study aims to propose a methodology for the evaluation of urban sustainability in the context of a country, whose approach can be adapted to evaluate the urban sustainability of any country or territory, taking into account environmental, social, economic and institutional aspects. The methodology is structured as an ordered protocol in five stages: (I) revision of PROGRAMMES on urban sustainability, (II) revision and cluster of indicators, (III) definition of indicators and metrics, (IV) definition of the scoring method of indicators, and (V) graphical representation of indicators. Accordingly, the methodology was applied in the context of Colombia, particularly to the medium-sized city of Mosquera, as a case study, and both as a whole and by socio-economic strata. As a result, a set of indicators with their corresponding metrics and score in sustainability levels was obtained, as well as a graphical representation that facilitates the interpretation of results and enables the comparison of different urban areas within the city. The results made it possible to identify vulnerable or degraded urban areas, and on a lower level, to detect specific critical aspects that require the implementation of improvements geared towards a more sustainable urban environment. The overall conclusion is that there is room for improvement in the municipality, since its level of sustainability ranges, generally, from 1 to 2 on a scale of 3.
