Practice self-supply in the memory of one People in the Centro-Oriente Region of Morelos-Mexico

Abstract

In this article the decline of self-supply practices is analyzed,focus in the “milpa” production, hunting and gathering, in the community of Tenextepango, Morelos. They had a central rol in the strategies of social reproduction of farming families until the second half of the twentieth century, however with the introduction of commercial production to supply nearby Mexico City, transformations were to the detriment of the traditional practices, remaining only in the memory of several generations. This process increased the vulnerability of rural families.
