Abstract

The purpose of this article is to demonstrate land-use changes from forest to agriculture in Ejido Salamanca in the southern state of Quintana Roo in Mexico. This transformation from forest to agriculture was caused by Mennonites -an ethnic group originally from Chortitza today southern Ukraine-, that arrived in Mexico in 1922 from Canada. This land-use demonstration is based on satellite images Sentinel 2 of the Copernicus Program and a plugin called Trends Earth. As a result, we have shown a land-use change from forest to crops could have a stable result and organic carbon soil loss. Even though, these negative changes, have gained great productivity results (ha/ton production) in corn, soy, red bean, and sorghum and contribute to agriculture productivity in Quintana Roo and the zero-hunger goal.
