    Ethical value networks, metabolic fracture and sustainability in avocado production in Mexico and Chile. The cases of Uruapan and Quillota - La Cruz
    (2025) Rodríguez Leiva, Sebastián; Rodríguez, Norma Angélica; Hidalgo, Rodrigo; Vieyra, Antonio; Montes, Octavio
    The increase in avocado consumption produces the expansion of the areas occupied by monoculture and the exacerbation of environmental impacts that show the obsolescence of the sustainable certification strategies adopted by the industry. The theoretical analysis addresses the networks of ethical value and the metabolic fracture from which the legitimation of the product is sought from the discourse of sustainable production while making invisible the physical-natural transformations and economic, social, cultural and political conflicts. The objective is to discuss the discourses of sustainability in avocado production with the postulates of ethical value networks based on the analysis of four dimensions: industry, justice, sustainability and geographical origin. To this end, the cases of Uruapan, Michoacán in Mexico and Quillota-La Cruz, Valparaíso in Chile are analyzed. It is concluded that both case studies have socioeconomic shortcomings, with significant losses of vegetation cover, alterations in the hydrological cycle and soil erosion problems in which the metabolic crack of society-nature relations deepens.
