Humans have traditionally sought provisioning services from rural areas, but society is becoming increasingly aware of other services that rural areas provide to human beings, agroecosystem services. At the same time, however, certain dysservices can be identified. The analysis of agroecosystem services and dysservices is a key point to consider in decision-making processes and provides a tool for acting on sustainability. Notwithstanding, few approaches to the dairy sector exist with this focus, and they often do not incorporate the vision of the actors from the entire value chain. The aim of the present paper is to identify agroecosystem services and dysservices deriving from the dairy farming in Galicia (Spain), as perceived by actors linked to this sector. The methodology followed a bottom-up approach (Focus Group) and identified 19 agroecosystem services (S) and 9 dysservices (D) grouped into four main categories: provisioning (6S/0D), environmental quality (5S/5D), rural vitality (6S/2D), and cultural heritage and quality of life (2S/1D). The results show strong awareness of services and dysservices, in particular as regards rural vitality (mainly related to employment and income generation) and environmental services (dyservices linked to intensive systems). We have, however, detected a significant gap in awareness of certain classical environmental services (carbon sequestration of pastures). Finally, one of the innovative findings is the identification of rural vitality services and dysservices, including the social role that farming plays in consolidating the population in rural areas, and in preserving local traditions and culture.

A partir del estudio de algunos componentes materiales de los cuidados y del trabajo artesanal en México, se busca conocer cómo se reorganiza la satisfacción de la necesidad de cuidados en el contexto del trabajo artesanal-familiar-precario, en un sistema de informalidad capitalista que no prioriza a las personas sino a los mercados. Con base en metodología cualitativa, se entrevistó a 45 artesanos/as rurales-indígenas de diferentes lugares de México. Los resultados muestran una distribución desigual tanto en el trabajo artesanal como en el de cuidados. La división sexual del trabajo se observa en: el reparto del trabajo artesanal-salarial por géneros, donde los hombres tienen mayor presencia y se advierte una segmentación vertical y horizontal para las mujeres; el doméstico-de cuidados sigue siendo feminizado. Para compatibilizarlos, se flexibiliza el trabajo y el tiempo de las mujeres, quienes sobreponen sus actividades en un continuum que no se divide en tiempo y espacio, provocando –incluso– que ellas sean sistemáticamente más pobres de tiempo y recursos.

PRODER is a Spanish rural development programme based on the European Union's LEADER programme approach and financed by EU funds. In this paper, the authors analyse the level of involvement of the social participants and assess how such programmes can contribute to the development of new local dynamics and capabilities. The results highlight the difficulties in gaining effective involvement from people. Even in areas where significant social networks exist, the lack of a culture of participation among social and governmental organizations has hindered programme development and success. Recommendations to improve the LEADER approach are provided.

La pandemia por Covid-19 impactó de manera diferente en la vida cotidiana del profesorado de educación superior. A través de una encuesta realizada a 140 profesores y profesoras de diferentes universidades en México, se observa que el trabajo docente irrumpió en sus casas de manera abrupta y sin antecedentes, lo que implicó modificaciones importantes en el arreglo de los tiempos y espacios para cumplir con las labores académicas, domésticas y de cuidado. Las mujeres reportaron mayores complicaciones para conciliar sus actividades cotidianas, en comparación con los hombres, lo cual les creó más conflictos y consecuencias negativas en su salud psicoemocional y física.
