State authorities in Chiapas arrested the alleged leader of a local criminal group known for committing crimes such as robbery Joaquín "El Chorizo" Flores Hernández was arrested by agents of the Chiapas Attorney General's Office and the People's Security Secretariat in the municipality of Chilón a small rural community nestled in the mountainous According to authorities, "El Chorizo" has been identified as a potential leader of the criminal group Karma, a local cell in Chiapas. Current state Attorney Genera lorge Luis Llaven Abarca revealed that the Karma criminal group acts as a regional cell for the Sinaloa cartel He added that four other members of the local gang were arrested April 10 and just like "El Chorizo," they are "now facing justice." As reported by Infobae Mexico an arrest warrant was issued against Flores Hernández after making multiple threats including showing up armed to a local government building and physically assaulting law enforcement officers "He told them he would come with a convoy and that he would take their lives," said Óscar Aparicio Avendaño "That's why we decided to transfer him to Tuxtla Gutiérrez and serve him with an arrest warrant for homicide," he added Flores Hernández is linked to previous homicides in the region including the deaths of four rural farmers and a journalist State officials suggest "El Chorizo" was involved in the January 2019 massacre of four rural farmers in the nearby community of Yajalón The victims were ambushed while on their way to a protest when the alleged gang members attacked them His name is also linked to the 2018 murder of journalist Mario Leonel Gómez Sánchez, a correspondent for El Heraldo de Chiapas in Yajalón and whose case remains under investigation "El Chorizo" counts with family ties with state deputy Juan Manuel Utrilla Constantino who has held other positions within the Yajalón local government Flores Hernández is the brother-in-law of the lawmaker and several groups in Chiapas have called for an investigation into Utrilla for possible links between local officials and criminal groups A controversial highway in Chiapas whose construction has been delayed for nearly 20 years has received the go-ahead after residents of five municipalities approved the project via a nonbinding referendum On Monday morning, Governor Eduardo Ramírez Aguilar announced the results in a social media post The Route of the Maya Cultures has been approved by the people!” Ramírez thanked the public for their participation during “an exemplary day of voting” on Sunday adding that the highway was approved with 39,321 votes in favor and only 919 against The highway will connect the former state capital, San Cristóbal de las Casas, with the town of Palenque, known as the gateway to ancient Mayan ruins. Palenque, founded in 1567 and populated primarily by Indigenous Maya communities, is also the home of former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (2018-2024). Residents of the municipalities of Palenque, Ocosingo, Chilón, Salto de Agua and Tumbalá took part in a public consultation organized by the state government Approval was sought only for the section of the highway between Palenque and Ocosingo State officials said that ballots were provided in Spanish as well as in the Indigenous languages of tzeltal and chol so as to “promote the full participation of all those who wish to make their voices heard.” public consultations are required any time the government plans to take legislative or administrative measures affecting the country’s Indigenous groups and their land The new highway would replace Highway 199 which originates in the central highlands and traverses the jungle in the northeast part of the state Ocosingo is only 68 kilometers south of Palenque but Highway 199 winds its way through the jungle for 119 kilometers to reach Palenque The old highway also connects Ocosingo to San Cristóbal de las Casas to the southwest but it takes roughly two and a half hours to drive the 95 kilometers Since the project was first presented nearly two decades ago successive state and federal governments have defended the highway by saying it would provide economic benefits to the poorest parts of the state “We are fully committed to the people of Chiapas,” Governor Ramírez said in February especially those who are most vulnerable.” Ramírez added that the highway would remain in public hands and that there would be no private concessions granted Critics of the long-delayed highway proposal argue that construction will destroy the environment and strip local residents of their land and its resources They also claim that residents have not been fully informed about the proposal and its consequences Last month, the regional organization Movement in Defense of Life and Land (Modevite), which has been campaigning against the project for 12 years, published a letter it had submitted to the state government in which it described the project as another example of “colonialism and racism that favors transnational interests Modevite said that while it was not opposed to the concept of progress “we are against the violation of our rights; [we are] against imposition and authoritarianism that benefits the few in and harms the land that has been the source of life for our peoples.” the Ocosingo-based bus company Grupo Único Cotaco calling it “an important step toward modernization and regional development” that would boost tourism and benefit the local economy ADVERTISE WITH MND COMMUNITY GUIDELINES Subscription FAQ's Privacy Policy Mexico News Daily - Property of Tavana LLC University of San Francisco student Mia Martins shares her admiration for Nélida Ayay Chilón I am ashamed to be writing this letter now when your story is one I should have been aware of much sooner a Spanish-language documentary I repeatedly passed over in favor of familiar When I finally clicked on Hija de La Laguna the opening shot framed you standing on a green hill stark and solitary against the lush background Your voice is plaintive but poignant when you say So begins your struggle — the struggle that thousands face every day Indigenous women are fighting for their rights I can only imagine how deeply you’ve missed your home while abroad how it tore at you to be absent when there are companies trying to tear your land apart Thank you for educating those who, like me, were ignorant of your plight.

Amnesty International observed some alarming similarities in these cases. The complaints filed are overwhelmingly directed at people who are considered leaders, or those who are most visible in the protest movements, and they are being prosecuted for vague offences, without hard evidence and solely on the basis of their peaceful actions. The proceedings often drag on for various reasons, and there is a constant worry that cases could be revived or new crimes fabricated. The unjust criminalization of human rights defenders draws attention away from the root causes and challenges facing land, territory and environmental defenders. The right to protest must be handled in such a way that recognizes that punishing those involved in social conflicts generally only exacerbates the problem rather than resolving the substance of the issue. Defenders’ demands must be properly heard and analysed and their right to protest guaranteed. While we’ve observed the hope and dignity of some who are being unjustly criminalized when they enjoy the support of their communities, we’ve also seen others who have decided to abandon the struggle to demand their rights. Among its specific recommendations, Amnesty International calls on the state to immediately cease the criminalization of protest and to properly investigate the human rights violations in the cases documented in the report in order to ensure that the defenders receive full reparations. The report accompanies the launch of the campaign #ProtestarNoEsUnCrimen, which seeks to raise awareness of the problem of the unjust criminalization of human rights defenders and its impact on the defence of land, territory and the environment. Together we can fight for human rights everywhere. Your donation can transform the lives of millions. If you are talented and passionate about human rights then Amnesty International wants to hear from you. The research focused on the population that stated that they were consumers of the Unión brand (a brand whose value proposition is the sale of healthy foods), obtaining 482 consumers. The study was conducted under a quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional design approach. The results support the existence of a positive and significant effect of NL on ATT, SN, and PBC, finding the exact behavior of SN and PBC in WCHBF; however, in the proposed model, it is observed that ATT has no impact on WCHBF. Applying strategies that lead to a change in consumer behavior towards healthy brands is a matter of time and will. In this context, the findings indicate that nutritional literacy plays an essential role in the willingness to consume healthy foods, which sheds more light on the design of educational interventions and awareness campaigns that independently inform about nutritional benefits and empower consumers, allowing them to make informed and healthy choices. Volume 11 - 2024 | https://doi.org/10.3389/fnut.2024.1353569 This article is part of the Research TopicIndustry and Individuals: Branding, Labelling, and Marketing of Food ProductsView all 10 articles Introduction: The willingness to consume healthy foods has highlighted the growing importance of health and predicting the willingness to consume foods of a healthy brand represents an action that leads to the practice of conscious eating habits To answer this question and based on previous studies such as the theory of planned behavior and nutritional literacy this study aimed to build a predictive model through an empirical study to examine the influence of nutritional literacy (NL) on attitude (ATT) subjective norm (SN) and perceived behavioral control (PBC) as well as to determine the influence of the three variables of the theory of planned behavior (TPB) on the willingness to consume healthy brand foods (WCHBF) in the Peruvian market Methods: The research focused on the population that stated that they were consumers of the Unión brand (a brand whose value proposition is the sale of healthy foods) The study was conducted under a quantitative Results: The results support the existence of a positive and significant effect of NL on ATT finding the exact behavior of SN and PBC in WCHBF; however it is observed that ATT has no impact on WCHBF Conclusion: Applying strategies that lead to a change in consumer behavior towards healthy brands is a matter of time and will the findings indicate that nutritional literacy plays an essential role in the willingness to consume healthy foods which sheds more light on the design of educational interventions and awareness campaigns that independently inform about nutritional benefits and empower consumers allowing them to make informed and healthy choices Over time, there have been significant changes in food consumption patterns. Health has become one of the most critical factors influencing food choices (1–4). However, individuals have varying attitudes toward food and dietary behaviors, resulting in different food patterns and preferences (5–7) Therefore, the willingness to consume foods from healthy brands and nutritional literacy are key aspects that are vital in promoting a balanced and healthy diet (11, 17, 18). Together, they are committed to building a healthier society where consumers can make informed decisions that benefit their well-being and society (8, 16) After a diligent review of the background above there has been a growing interest in continuing to study these topics for academics and professionals in the business and health sectors Although scientific evidence validates that among the topics of study the theory of planned behavior has caused the most significant interest bibliometric indicators reveal the ten countries that most disclose their scientific results: the USA The same ones have applied their study to various areas When discerning the scientific dissemination by country the studies carried out in the Peruvian population have been found to be very limited very little scientific literature can provide support and guidance for future studies in this context Given the prevalence of diseases and poor eating practices related to nutrition this research aims to fill the knowledge gap and provide a valuable contribution to the academic community and professionals of the sectors involved the purpose of the research is to build a predictive model through an empirical study to examine the influence of Nutritional Literacy (NL) on attitude (ATT) as well as determine the influence of three variables of the theory of planned behavior (TPB) on the willingness to consume (WCHBF) for healthy products in the Peruvian market The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) is a psychological framework that helps predict and understand human behavior (70). It is commonly used to predict purchasing and consumption behaviors (70–73). TPB proposes three main factors influencing a person’s behavior: attitude toward the behavior, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control (70, 74) This influence may extend beyond reliance on explicit food label details encompassing direct impacts on food choices or shaping attitudes and beliefs H1: Nutritional Literacy (NL) positively influences consumer attitudes toward healthy brand food consumption indicating that consumers are influenced by their peers when using food labels to select healthy foods Considering these antecedents arises the hypothesis that: H2: Nutritional Literacy (NL) positively influences Subjective Norms (SN) for healthy brand food consumption proposing that promoting food literacy programs can instigate positive shifts in eating behavior and facilitate well-informed decision-making in dietary choices H3: Nutritional Literacy (NL) positively influences Perceived Behavioral Control (PBC) for healthy brand food consumption The theory of planned behavior has been fundamental in understanding consumer food decisions (90–92). Based on the idea that attitudes, perceived social norms, and perceived behavioral control influence a person’s intentions and behaviors, this psychological theory has been successfully applied in numerous studies focused on consumers’ food choices (91–97) There is a correlation between consumer attitude and the intention to consume health-oriented products H4: Attitude (ATT) positively influences the consumers’ willingness to consume healthy brand food (WCHBF) They observed that close friends and partners considerably influenced subjective influence implying that they are essential in controlling drink consumption H5: Subjective Norms (SN) positively influence the consumers’ willingness to consume healthy brand food (WCHBF) H6: Perceived Behavioral Control (PBC) positively influences the consumers’ willingness to consume healthy brand food (WCHBF) Considering the hypotheses mentioned above, the ensuing conceptual model of the study can be visualized, as depicted in Figure 1. Additionally, the advanced hypotheses and their associated constructs have been briefly outlined in tabular form and are available for reference in Appendix A Different authors recommend different sample sizes. The optimal sample size recommended by some authors should be more than 100 subjects, and the minimum acceptable is at least five times the number of items to be analyzed; however, they suggest that ten times the number of items to be interpreted would be more acceptable (112, 113) Considering these recommendations and given that the instrument of the present study is composed of 27 essential items and three socio-demographic items a minimum sample of 300 subjects was established which is above the minimum required sample To evaluate the Nutritional Literacy (NL) variable, this study applied the short 11-item scale developed by Vrinten et al. (120). To evaluate the variables of the theory of planned behavior, adaptation was proposed by Kumar et al. (121), where Attitude, Subjective Norm, and Perceived Behavioral Control have three items each, and the willingness to consume foods from healthy brands has seven items (Appendix B) All items are evaluated using a 5-point Likert-type scale where “1” means “Strongly disagree” and “5” means “Strongly agree.” The digital questionnaire was divided into two sections The first section presented the 27 items already mentioned and the second section was composed of questions related to socio-demographic data such as age The significance of the path coefficients (p-value and t-value) was sought to evaluate the structural model. The coefficient of determination (R2) was used to measure the predictive relevance of the structural model. Finally, the overall model fit was measured using the root mean square residual (SRMR). It is noteworthy that behavioral scholars have praised the application of PLS-SEM in interdisciplinary research (124) The application of the PLS-SEM software is carried out through two stages: (1) evaluation of the measurement model and (2) evaluation of the structural model. The first stage evaluates the validity and reliability of the measurement model, and the second evaluates the structural model, which addresses the relationships between the constructs (126, 127) Although the method used for statistical analysis in this study does not require compliance with normality these data provide information about the distribution of the data The Fornell–Larker criterion was used to evaluate discriminant validity, so the square root of the AVE of each construct was calculated, which had to be greater than the highest correlation between the construct and other constructs in the model (126, 127). Table 3 shows that all bold diagonal values are more significant than the correlations the measurement model meets all the necessary assumptions to continue evaluating the structural model After completing the discriminant, convergent, and reliability tests, the structural model was evaluated using the PLS bootstrapping algorithm with a complete result, a subsample of 5,000, and a one-tailed t-test at a significance level of 0.05%. The outcomes of the structural model with the path coefficient, which ought to be a value between −1 and +1 (111), are displayed in Figure 2 willingness to consume healthy brand food; SN The hypothesis tests and the evaluation of the path coefficients can be seen in Table 4 The results show that NL has a positive and significant effect on ATT The results show that SN and PBC positively and significantly affect WCHBF This model indicates that ATT does not impact the WCHBF so it is possible to continue with the analysis of the differences between both groups Using the Multigroup Bootstrap Analysis (Bootstrap MGA), we proceeded to verify the difference in the results of the contrast of the hypotheses between men and women, after performing an analysis of 5,000 samples, the results show that none of the p values is less than 0.05, therefore (132), There is no significant difference between men and women in the contrasts of the hypotheses raised in this study (see Table 6) antecedents that support this investigation have been found Regardless of acquiring knowledge regarding a daily diet nutritional literacy triggers an essential influence for a consumer to adopt healthy food consumption habits specifying that nutritional literacy influences subjective norms constituting this fact as an opportunity to provide further strength to interventions aimed at promoting the consumption of healthy brand foods and skills can influence the final decision This means that subjective norms are a point of support since the participation of third parties and the social environment build positive attitudes regarding the consumption of healthy brand foods which represents forming solid habits regarding a diet from healthy brands the results suggest that the influence of nutritional literacy on attitude and perceived behavioral control is similar between men and women This indicates that both groups may similarly perceive the importance of nutritional literacy in their purchasing decisions for healthy products This study has addressed consumer behavior from the planned behavior perspective within the theoretical implications the proposed theoretical model is part of a robust conceptual structure that allows a clear understanding of the factors involved in decision shopping specific strategies that aim to correct consumer behavior regarding the consumption of healthy foods can be addressed Statistics make an essential contribution to the literature on these topics more research is needed to evaluate the data obtained in this study more broadly the results lead to discovering specific practical implications that have to do with technology allowing consumers to be well-informed and achieve nutritional literacy is not an impossible task it does require that the media disseminate information about it it is necessary to increase nutritional literacy to ensure a healthier diet in the population; therefore new government policies on health must be developed to achieve these standards When analyzing projects and programs related to nutrition in underdeveloped countries some of these successful programs include multiple behavioral development initiatives that could last over time but require a progressive lifestyle change the results of this study can be translated into recommendations to improve nutritional literacy and the development of good eating habits to avoid health risks and complications (poor quality of life the Ministries of Health and Education should show a more significant commitment to cooperating for this national purpose such as healthy eating and lifestyle programs are necessary to educate a new generation with a broader vision could be spreading less-than-appropriate eating practices these issues should be addressed with permanent guidance from experts in the field This study deepens knowledge about nutritional literacy and the consumption of foods from healthy brands which would allow the senior management of any organization those responsible for the Ministry of Health and other public and private organizations to consider reforming food policies and designing strategies to improve the health of more citizens given that there are no significant differences between men and women marketing strategies related to promoting healthy products could be designed more unisex Campaigns that highlight the importance of nutritional literacy could effectively target both sexes The size of the sample and the type of sampling (non-probability by convenience) used in the study do not allow the results to be projected onto the composition of the base population The study sample was observed to have a significant disproportion in terms of civil status the study’s findings may not be applicable to other populations or contexts since the sample was biased toward specific socio-demographic characteristics It is suggested that future studies should attempt to obtain more homogeneous samples to avoid this issue the study did not consider some essential socio-economic determinants to describe the profile of the participants This fact is part of one of the limitations of this study it is proposed that future research address the differences in perception of the study variables in a different cultural context to measure the gaps The study was also limited by the time it took to complete the survey making some prone to abandoning the questionnaire another limitation of this research is that it has not been considered whether the sample has received or possesses any level of nutritional literacy since the difference between them may be a research bias so future research should address the level of nutritional literacy to carry out an analysis that measures the strength of influence of one variable on another although there are no significant differences between men and women in the results of this study it could be beneficial to explore external factors such as culture or social events that may influence men and women differently in relation to eating and health These factors must be considered for future research in this way to understand the

for International Development at Northumbria University, writes in Discover Society about her sociological photography project but we never put forward an alternative or positive proposal.” This was how one woman explained her motivation to take part in my participatory photography project which explores women anti-mining activists’ conceptions of ‘Development’ in the context of living with proposed and actual large-scale resource extraction involves working with a group of 12 women from Cajamarca enabling them to use photography to reflect on and capture their own ways of thinking about Development and in particular to think through alternative visions of Development that challenge the dominant Peruvian national narrative of extractive-led Development Peruvian Minas Buenaventura and the World Bank’s International Financial Corporation It has operated in the region of Cajamarca since 1993 there has been widespread and growing concern about the mine’s operation and especially in relation water quality and quantity The city of Cajamarca has become an emblematic site in relation to socio-environmental conflicts around mining when a truck contracted by the mine spilt significant quantities of mercury along a stretch of road in and around community of Choropampa with devastating health and environmental impacts protests erupted in opposition to the company’s proposed Cerro Quilish expansion which sought to develop the Quilish mountain which is considered a sacred place by local people has a fragile ecosystem and is situated at the head of the watershed The strength of community opposition and public opinion eventually forced the Minera Yanacocha company to withdraw from the Quilish concession but only after violent confrontations between protestors and the police Cajamarca has been in the spotlight for vehement and prolonged opposition to the proposed Minas Conga project a proposed multi-billion dollar expansion to Yanacocha’s existing project Community opposition in both Cajamarca city and the wider region of Cajamarca culminated in protests during 2011 and 2012 and eventually leading to the indefinite suspension of the project there are ongoing tensions around actual and proposed extractive activities personified in the now iconic figure of Máxima Acuña Chaupe – winner of the 2016 Goldman Environmental Prize – and her battle against Newmont Mining Corporation Activist organisations continue to fiercely resist Conga and other possible new mining developments as well as opposing the broader development model associated with this sort of large-scale resource extraction The region of Cajamarca has thus become internationally renowned for its opposition to large-scale mining and there has been a steady stream of journalists supporting the Cajamarquinos in their struggle and sharing it with the world Whilst this has given international prominence to Cajamarca’s struggles such as the women those involved in this particular project do feel quite thoroughly ‘researched’ and tend to have a well-rehearsed ‘script’ in relation to recounting their involvement in the conflict The women activists embraced this project as an opportunity to construct and disseminate their own narratives and to create a set of resources to enable them to actively communicate their ideas and perspectives in a distinctive way Participatory photography provides a tool with which to achieve this facilitating a move away from more traditional interviewer/interviewee power dynamics and allowing participants to set the agenda and foreground the topics they deem important a group of women drawn from three women’s organisations (two from Cajamarca city and one from Celendin (a small town close to the proposed Conga development)) took part in a series of workshops and activities aimed at capturing their distinct approaches to contesting mining developments using the medium of participatory photography reflecting on three themes they chose to work on – ‘alternatives to resource extraction’ These were themes that the women themselves thought it important to explore and that reflected discussions about the meaning of ‘Development’ from the initial participatory workshop Drawing on their own lives and experiences vibrant and rich perspective on the region of Cajamarca and their hopes for its future Participatory photography is often used with marginalised and disadvantaged groups and provides an opportunity for alternative voices and perspectives to come to the fore Many of the women participants in this project had never used a camera before the most important aspect of the project is the opportunity to exhibit their work in the main plaza in Cajamarca city enabling them and their ideas to occupy and claim (increasingly restricted) civic space and to showcase their newly acquired skills their creativity and visions for the future and organisations involved in contesting mining This exhibition is planned for International Women’s Day The women’s photos reflect the importance they place on a more people-centred a strong contrast with the highly industrialised and mechanised forms of mining that they experience in their region A sense of hope permeates the women’s images foregrounding that which they value as distinctive and meaningful historically and naturally rich region with an abundance of resources and opportunities Such images and perspectives stand in stark contrast to the devastation and destruction wrought by large scale mining in the region In choosing not to focus on this aspect of mining the project aimed to open up spaces of possibility rather than capturing the already well-documented and extensive negative impacts of mining – which might also have placed the women activists in difficult or dangerous situations The women’s own subjectivities and positionalities as anti-mining activists have been central in the types of image they have generated this is an integral expectation of participant photography; there is no expectation of aspects characteristic of much of the campaigning narratives of the broader anti-mining movement are central to the visions put forward in the women’s photos exemplifying a threatened rural way of life were recurring themes that appeared in all twelve women’s photos despite most of the women currently living in the city Many of the women had grown up in rural communities and some self-identified as indigenous women (still relatively uncommon in much of Peru due to the continuing legacy of severe discrimination against indigenous peoples) Many women had purposely sought out images of rurality and and used these images to emphasise the opportunities they felt small-scale agriculture presented for an alternative model of Development It should be recognised that there is an element of rose-tinted spectacles to these sorts of images they portray an idealised vision of rural life and for the most part do not capture poverty and inequality within their purview they do reflect on ideas around sustainability attesting to the women’s belief that Development should not be something imposed from outside but should emerge from within a community and a particular context The women’s desire to portray themselves and other women as active agents of change within their communities is also evident in many of their photos Their images capture examples of women as micro-entrepreneurs; reflect on opportunities for the diversification of women’s livelihoods (including herbal remedies soap production); and show women in myriad roles They portray women as integral to the functioning and survival of communities and families self-motivated and hard-working individuals having come to the end of the active photography phase of the project I conducted interviews with the women about the photographs they have taken – giving them an opportunity to reflect upon what photos they took and why and also what photos they chose not to take as well as narratives and poems written by the women about some of their photos and will provide a deeper insight into the women’s stances prior to the final exhibition of a selection of the women’s images and narratives in spring 2018 Katy Jenkins is Associate Professor of International Development and Co-Director of the Centre for International
