Participatory Fuzzy Cognitive Map For Agroecological Adoption In Oaxaca

34.8 KB of data supports a 2026 study by Gabriela Garcia and colleagues on agroecological adoption in Oaxaca, Mexico. It contains participatory fuzzy cognitive maps co-developed with local facilitators to model socio-ecological components influencing agroecological horticulture. The data underpins scenario analyses identifying leverage points for sustainability interventions.

Use Cases

• Analyze the structure of the consensus fuzzy cognitive map to identify key model components like 'costs and risks' or 'women and youth engagement'.
• Conduct scenario analysis using the model's relationships to project impacts of interventions on 'agroecological adoption'.
• Apply a leverage points framework to classify model components across theorized realms, such as 'economic viability' or 'market access'.
• Compare participatory modeling data with other case studies to understand place-based factors like 'monoculture production' or 'resource degradation'.

Strengths

• Data is directly linked to a peer-reviewed 2026 publication in People and Nature.
• Model components span all four theorized realms of leverage, indicating a diverse socio-ecological scope.
• Generated through participatory methods co-developing the model with local agroecological facilitators.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 34.8 KB, indicating limited raw data or model parameters.
• Geographic scope is restricted to the Central Valleys of Oaxaca, Mexico, limiting generalizability.
• Specific row and column counts, data granularity, and sample data are unavailable for assessment.
