Abstract

MORENO GAYTAN, Silvia Iveth. Peri-urban Agri-food Systems: Rural-urban Proximity Relationships in Coatepec, Ixtapaluca, Mexico. Econ. soc. territ [online]. 2022, vol.22, n.68, pp.117-145.  Epub May 02, 2022. ISSN 2448-6183.  https://doi.org/10.22136/est20221669.

The objective of the paper is to show the practices that communities rebuild from local areas to recover and rescue historically valuable foods, linked and anchored to a territory, taking advantage of their interrelation with the city. The data are derived from qualitative research tools and the use of satellite images to demonstrate the territorial transformation of Coatepec, a maguey-producing town in the municipality of Ixtapaluca, eastern Mexico State. The results indicate the way in which the territory is a product and producer of social phenomena that are reconfigured on a regional scale in a global context.

Keywords : territory; food; local; proximity; rural.
