その他の書誌記述:According to Mexican official data, agricultural burning is the main cause for forest fires. However, seldom are farmers taken into account to participate in the preparation of related public policies. Over the last 100 years, Mexico has generated laws and public policies that, at least up until the 1980s, have removed farmers from the control and management of their forests, reconfigured land tenure and agricultural production, and discouraged traditional use of fire. A vision to suppress and combat forest fires dominated during this period. Currently, authorities are seeking to move towards a fire management vision, integrating ecological and social factors to understand and address fires; however, it is essential to assess the impact and consequences of a century of public policies on forest fires in the rural forest sector. Some of these consequences include the lack of integration between the forestry and agricultural sectors, the double role of the farmer as the affected party and the agent causing forest fires, and their role as a fire brigades and guardians of traditional fire knowledge.
