Abstract:

The permanence and sustainability of the agro-productive nodes in Sonora, Mexico are threatened by the climatic emergency and the conditioned use of water resources. In this scenario, some nodes tend to integrate and value various techniques, strategies, and practical approaches from an ecotechnological conception. The purpose of this work is to evaluate the diversification and understanding of the complexity of the inclusion of new activities of an Agroproductive Node with Sustainable Tendency (ANST) in Moctezuma, Sonora, Mexico with a productive orientation of forage for hay. For the sustainable evaluation, a Braden scale was defined, in Braden Units (UB) interpreting the inter-monthly and seasonal changes of the landscape in the study node to identify the process of opening and adopting the strategic ecological management. New approaches are the inclusion of aridtourism with 23 ± 5.6 BU, haymaking and silage practices with minimum tillage of 18 ± 2.3 BU, the establishment of xeric organoponics with 47 ± 1.9 BU; the definition of buffer areas to protect wildlife 79 ± 6.7 UB; the use of rescue grazing 14 ± 2.8 BU, the care of Dynamic Pollination Zones 89 ± 5.6 BU; soil rescue and organic matter management 56.7 ± 3.4; the definition of grape cultivation with low water consumption and organic management 76.4 ± 4.8UB. Sustainable ecotechnological adoption is a process that represents restrictions and deficiencies that are being solved but necessary for the node to remain under the erratic and severe changes in climate and characteristics of water availability. The adoption process in the study node suggests that the complex, strategic and integrated nature of the SDG guideline and trend has been internalized in its redesign and is defined as a technical reference with potential for the conservation of natural resources from an original agricultural production plan
