Sustainable development and community agency Contributions from Ecotechnologies

Abstract

The current crisis forces us to reflect on the great challenges that lie ahead of us. We are facing a scenario that requires alternative proposals that allow us to think about the future of civilisation from a perspective of socio-environmental justice. In this sense, we cannot accept a solution that continues to be oriented solely towards the pursuit of economic growth.

The economic policies applied in Mexico and in other countries, in recent years have exacerbated the vulnerability of broad sectors of the population and have put ecosystems at risk.

This paper proposes a first critical approach to the contributions that sustainable development and community agency, can offer to an ecological reading of human and protective relations of production, pointing out that some economical resources of the planet are in a crucial situation.
