ROSAS-BANOS, Mara  e  LARA-RODRIGUEZ, Ruth. Endogenous Local Sustainable Development and Common Property: San Pedro El Alto, Mexico. Cuad. Desarro. Rural [online]. 2013, vol.10, n.71, pp.59-80. ISSN 0122-1450.

In Mexico many socioeconomic dynamics are being put in motion within rural communities, the purpose of which is to regain control over natural resources and creating Communal Forestry Companies that support an inclusive and participative type of progress. The object of the present paper is to analyse the case of San Pedro El Alto in Mexico in terms of local endogenous development, Víctor Toledo's (1996) contribution to the study sustainable communities and post-farming appropriation (Barkin y Rosas, 1996; Rosas, 2011). This study proposes a transition from subsistence agriculture to a type of production that would increase quality of life. A participative methodology was used, including semi-structured interviews to key informants and documental information. Data will be showed demonstrating that San Pedro El Alto has achieved a certain degree of development due to the creation of the Communal Forestry Company.
