El presente artículo analiza la transformación agrícola familiar y el concepto campesino de 15 familias del ejido Benito Juárez, La Concordia, Chiapas. Partimos de la crisis originada por la adopción de técnicas y modelos que promueven la intensificación productiva con agroquímicos, maquinaria, semillas mejoradas y riego, provocando poca rentabilidad agrícola, venta y abandono de tierras, aparición de vicios, la transformación de ideas y conocimientos propios, así como la pérdida de semillas criollas. Esto evidencia políticas y estrategias del Estado que en lugar de estimular a las familias campesinas para integrarse al trabajo agrícola, han favorecido la individualización de las unidades agrícolas, donde los pequeños productores quedan desprotegidos. Esta problemática ha generado estrategias de supervivencia como: empleo temporal, emigración y diversificación laboral asumidas por jóvenes y mujeres. La transición del campo hacia un modelo urbano es gradual e inaplazable, por lo que es necesario analizar las implicaciones de este fenómeno y replantearse las bases e instrumentos de la política con respecto al campo y las formas de investigación agrícola.... view less

This paper analyzes the transformation of family farming and the concept of farmer in 15 families from the ejido Benito Juarez, La Concordia, Chiapas. This research begins by referencing the agricultural crisis caused by the adoption of agricultural techniques and models that promote the intensification of production based on the use of agrochemicals, farm machinery, modified seeds and irrigation systems, which result in low agricultural profitability, sale and abandonment of farmland, emergence of vices, transformation of one’s own ideas and knowledge and loss of native seeds. This situation has been exacerbated by government policies and strategies that have favored the individualization of agricultural units, where small producers are left unprotected. This issue has pushed farmers to develop new survival strategies such as temporary employment, emigration and the taking up of farm tasks by young people and women. The transformation from the rural to a new urban model is gradual and unavoidable, so it is necessary to analyze the implications entailed by this phenomenon and understand that family farming is in a period of transition to a phase of intensive agricultural development, making it necessary to reconsider policy bases and instruments with respect to farming and the ways agricultural research is conducted.... view less
