| Popis: | Towards the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries, the productive specialization of the Central Region of Costa Rica with agroindustrial export crops and the consequent consolidation of a highly capitalized agrarian system, modern in its productive structure, and socially and geographically differentiated, was advancing rapidly. Based on this general historical context, this article analyzed the main features of the socioecological profile of the canton of Vasquez de Coronado at the time of its creation, using the Social Metabolism (SM) approach. We used energy and materials flow-fund analysis and the calculation of energy return rates at different points of the agroecosystem (Multi-EROI). The above with the aim of approaching the construction of the (in)sustainability of the agrarian system under study and its relationship with the process of territorial expansion of commercial agriculture and the productive specialization in dairy cattle farming that has given a specific character to this political-administrative space up to the present day. |
