VALLEJO ROMAN, Janett  e  MORENO ANDRADE, Saúl Horacio. Rurality and adaptation strategies: potato and milk production in two localities of the central region of Veracruz. Inter disciplina [online]. 2021, vol.9, n.25, pp.69-92.  Epub 22-Nov-2021. ISSN 2448-5705.  https://doi.org/10.22201/ceiich.24485705e.2021.25.79966.

The main objective of this work is to describe and to analyze the different adaptive strategies which allow the permanence of traditional socioeconomic activities, such as potatoes harvest and milk production, at localities of Veracruz’s center. Those activities have suffered mayor changes derived from neoliberal policies that have been unfavorable for the small-scale agricultural sector. Specific, the inputs’s increasing costs, low product’s prices and difficulties to commercialize. All this has caused an unfortunate scenario among the “rancheros” at the region. Based on ethnographic work, we sustain that permanence of these activities (in economic terms) has been possible given the diversity of activities, not necessarily agricultural or livestock, carried out by the members of the households. That is to say, the pluriactivity that is observed in the current rural societies, allows to explain the maintenance of traditional economical activities, currently complementary; which ones, a couple of years ago, were primary and substantive for the survival of rural households. On the other hand, this study allows to know cultural aspects, of long date, around identity and social roots, about milk and potato production, what defines a particular way of inhabiting these rural spaces.
