ROLDAN CRUZ, Edgar Iván; CHAVARRIA MIRANDA, Hugo  y  CANO DE LA ROSA, Jessica. Programmatic interventions and bioeconomy: rethink the viability of Maguey. Rev. Mex. Cienc. Agríc [online]. 2022, vol.13, n.1, pp.167-179.  Epub 02-Mayo-2022. ISSN 2007-0934.  https://doi.org/10.29312/remexca.v13i1.2334.

The paper bases the possible profitability and sustainability of the maguey plant from the biomass criterion and business paths, all in the context of the dissimilar logics of intervention, transfer and science that have been applied around the plant. The relevant literature review and the guide for the identification and analysis of the business possibilities of the bioeconomy are the main inputs necessary to achieve this end. Thus, it is possible to affirm that, although the maguey for mead/pulque is perhaps the most studied plant (linked to the indigenous past) since colonial times, today it gravitates in its last programmatic phase of incidence, survival, and preservation of cultural knowledge. Moreover, the paper shows that apart from pulque, it is feasible that the future of maguey embraces its multifunctionality and its multifaceted character, a synergy that will undoubtedly grant business viability to the average producer, especially in minimizing the maturity time factor versus disinterest in growing the plant.
