Intensificación de los sistemas de producción de follajes de corte: efectos en la cubierta forestal y los ingresos
Intensification of foliage harvesting practices: Consequences for forest cover and economic viability
Resumen
Objetivo: analizar la relación entre los sistemas de manejo de follajes de corte, generación de ingresos y efectos en la cubierta forestal en Veracruz, México. Metodología: se aplicó una encuesta a 304 productores de follajes en seis municipios. Se recopiló información sobre sistemas de producción, características socioeconómicas e ingresos por follajes. Se realizaron análisis estadísticos para comparar los sistemas productivos y su contribución a Línea de Pobreza Ingreso Rural. Resultados: los hallazgos indican que los Productos Forestales No Maderables (PFNM) en promedio, aportan más del 50% de ingresos para la LPIR de hogares que cultivan follajes. Los sistemas rústicos de recolección de follajes mantienen mayor cobertura forestal, pero generan menores ingresos, en comparación con otros sistemas; por otro lado, sistemas intensivos generan mayores ingresos, pero con un impacto negativo en la cobertura forestal. En contraste, los sistemas que combinan especies mantienen la cobertura forestal, generan ingresos y contribuyen a la conservación de biodiversidad. Este estudio amplía conocimientos sobre la aportación de PFNM a los ingresos familiares y la sustentabilidad. Limitaciones: se trata de un estudio de caso; sin embargo contiene elementos replicables en otros sistemas de PFNM. Conclusiones: destaca la importancia de considerar el impacto de los sistemas de producción desde la perspectiva económica y ambiental. Los resultados son relevantes para las políticas y la gestión comunitaria de sistemas de producción, que equilibren beneficios económicos con la conservación.

Objective: to analyze the relationship between cutting-based foliage management systems, income generation, and their effects on forest cover in Veracruz, Mexico. Methodology: a survey was conducted among 304 foliage producers in six municipalities. Data was collected on production systems, socioeconomic characteristics, and income from foliage. Statistical analyses were conducted to compare production systems and their contribution to the Rural Income Poverty Line (LPIR). Results: findings indicate that Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) contribute, on average, more than 50% of their income to the LPIR of households cultivating foliage. Rustic foliage collection systems maintain greater forest cover but generate lower incomes compared to other systems; on the other hand, intensive systems generate higher incomes but have a negative impact on forest cover. In contrast, systems that combine species maintain forest cover, generate income, and contribute to biodiversity conservation. This study expands knowledge on the contribution of NTFPs to family income and sustainability. Limitations: this is a case study; however, it contains elements that can be replicated in other Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFP) system Conclusions: The importance of considering the impact of production systems from both economic and environmental perspectives is highlighted. The results are relevant for policies and community management of production systems that balance economic benefits with conservation.
