Abstract

The paper presents a critical revision of conceptual frameworks that have analyzed the nature of the relationship peasant-ecosystems. This need arises from the acknowledgement that rural space and -particularly the peasants inhabiting it- currently undergo a sociopolitical resignification that stems from the revalorization of ecosystem services in the face of the global environmental crisis. Such issues call not only to deconstruct traditional frameworks that have explained this problem, but also to analyze the new meanings that different social actors give to this interaction. Drawing upon a framework based on critical sociology and political ecology, the paper proposes the concepts of "ecosocial solidarity" and "ecosocial project" in order to grasp the rationale leading the practices carried out by peasants in relation to ecosystem services.
