DIAGNOSIS IMPORTANCE OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT OF A MODEL AGROFORESTAL IN PEASANT COMMUNITIES OF SIERRA DE HUAUTLA

Abstract

Family agricultural is socioeconomically important in rural areas, but in Mexico, from the 80's this production system presents social stagnation. This type of agriculture presents a dynamic reality in the interests of each producer and limiting access to factors of production (land, labor and capital). In this investigation a methodology for analysis and diagnosis of production systems in rural areas, in two communities in the Country Sierra de Huautla Tepalcingo, Morelos, Mexico was applied. The proposal is based on an assessment of the environmental, historical, technological and socio-economic assessment of different productive activities for different types of units Family Production of the communities studied. The study showed that 40% of Family Production Units fail to exceed the threshold of survival and show impossibility capitalization medium and long term. So it is advisable to implement a model of local agricultural development to improve the socioeconomic conditions of Family Production Units of peasant communities.
