| description | From 1975 to 1985, Michoacano growers increased avocado production by 600 percent. Three factors explain the extraordinary growth of Michoacán’s avocado production: (1) land-use changes, (2) the development of agricultural infrastructure in the region, and (3) the Mexican state’s varying forest management policies. This article describes those changes and their consequences in the Meseta Purhépecha’s pine forests that now grow almost 30 percent of the total global production of avocados every year. |
