This article analyzes and presents the processes related to the transformations in the food provision practices of domestic groups in a context of sociocultural change in Lacanjá Chansayab for more than 70 years. Based on the theory of cultural control, an ethnographic study, participant observation and documentary review were carried out to identify the food practices that have persisted and those that have been incorporated in this place. It is concluded that their practices move from an autonomous cultural environment to an alienated one and domestic groups have appropriated foreign elements to maintain several of these and reproduce others. The transformations found threaten their food system and affect their autonomy and food security.

Keywords : alimentation; practices; subsistence; dietary changes; cultural control; Lacanjá Chansayab.
