dc.description.abstract | Polycultured agrarian systems in Ecuadorian Amazonia (also called chakras or swollen
gardens) are characterised by a market-oriented crop for the generation of monetary income, for
example, cocoa, other agricultural products (e.g., banana and cassava), and livestock for family farm
consumption. Moreover, a chakra is an outstanding example of agroforestry production, in which
ecological, social and economic elements co-evolve from a set of close and strong connections. In this
context, the conservation and transformation of their biological subsystems can be understood as
the result of complex interactions between anthropogenic and non-anthropogenic factors. In turn,
such interactions are essential to provide food and monetary income to the indigenous community.
Relevant agency capabilities exist that could cause an agroforestry system to take a different path
of co-evolution, that is, towards greater or lesser sustainability associated with different levels of
complexity. In conclusion, chakras have key ecological features that can mitigate the impact of
human population growth in Amazonia. Additionally, chakras have their own processes of social
self-regulation which enhance the possibilities of adaptation of Kichwa communities to changing
environmental conditions, being essential elements in local food sovereignty, equitable gender
relations and the respect of ancestral wisdom. | es |
