The Common goods and the challenge of preserving natural resources

Abstract

Economic activity is linked, in addition to other production factors, to the use of natural resources. For the inhabitants of the rural regions and communities of Mexico, their coexistence is essential based on the various types of property, including that of common goods. The work uses relative data from the National Agrarian Registry and uses a qualitative and quantitative methodology. The objective is to reflect on the importance of these assets, given that their existence is contemplated in the legislation. The hypothesis is that the development agenda will not be complete if it does not contain the aspects of sustainability. The results show the lack of public support, but also the undervaluation of these spaces. It is concluded that it is essential to promote care practices for these natural resources, for which existing regulations must be enforced
