Prácticas de conservación de suelo para desarrollar resiliencia ante el cambio climático en Santa Cruz Moxolahuac, Puebla, México

This research focuses on describing the soil conservation practices of the nine farmers from Santa Cruz Moxolahuac, Puebla, Mexico. The transactional model theory (Holahan, 2006) is used to describe these practices. Two research techniques are used: systematic observation is used to measure both environmental and behavioral components, and a survey to measure the psychological component. The results are classified into three kinds of inconsistencies, which do not allow resilience to develop in the farming systems. Thus, the social – environmental intervention proposal for this investigation is to reach a coherent connection between the environmental needs of the farming systems and the farmer’s knowledge, attitudes and behaviors regarding their soil conservation practices.
