abstract

  • Most attention to the concept of sustainable development has focused on national government policy. This review will concentrate on efforts to implement rural sustainable development at the grassroots level in Mexico. In the two crucial rural production areas of forestry and agriculture, some Mexican peasant organizations are leading the way in sustainable silvicul ture and organic agriculture, both of which are market oriented. These local-level efforts have important implications for reorienting government policies toward sustainable development. © 1995, Sage Publications. All rights reserved.
