DIAGNÓSTICO DE LA COMPLEJIDAD DE LOS DISEÑOS Y MANEJOS DE LA BIODIVERSIDAD EN SISTEMAS DE PRODUCCIÓN AGROPECUARIA EN TRANSICIÓN HACIA LA SOSTENIBILIDAD Y LA RESILIENCIA/Diagnosis of the complexity of the designs and management of the biodiversity in agricultures production systems in transition to the sustainability and the resilience

Biodiversity is considered essential in the process of agroecological conversion of agricultural production systems and in enhancing resilience to climatic change. As a result of several years of research, we offer a new proposal for the diagnosis of the complexity of the designs and management of the biodiversity elements in agroecosystems. 64 indicators have been generated that can be grouped in the following 6 categories: 18 indicators on design and management of the elements of productive biodiversity (DMBPr), 7 indicators on soil management and conservation (MCS), 5 on water management and conservation (MCA), 5 on management of the plant protection interventions in productive systems (MISRPr), 15 on design and management of the elements of the auxiliary biodiversity (DMBAu) and 14 on the state of the elements of the associate biodiversity (EBAs). The measurement of these indicators allows one to determine the Coefficient of Biodiversity Management (CMB), to classify the production system regarding its level of complexity and thus elaborate an agroecological conversion plan. Herein we present the results of the application of this methodology on two neighboring farms:"La Provechosa" which obtained a CMB of 2,35, classified as"fairly complex" its designs and management of biodiversity;" La Trocha" a CMB of 1,3 obtained and thus classified as:"Simplified", requiring a diversification plan to transition from conventional to agroecological management.
