GONZALEZ CHAVEZ, Humberto  e  MACIAS MACIAS, Alejandro. Nutritional Vulnerability and Mexico's Agro-Alimentary Policy. Desacatos [online]. 2007, n.25, pp.47-78. ISSN 2448-5144.

Based on the concept of nutritional vulnerability, this paper studies the effects of Mexico's agro-alimentary policy on the population's sustainable access to an adequate, nourishing and healthy nutrition during the last twenty-five years. This analysis takes into consideration natural factors (genetic diversity, climate change and environmental degradation), economic factors (food self-sufficiency and food importation and exportation), as well as social factors (population mobility, income and poverty levels). It concludes that Mexico's agro-alimentary policy has deepened the population's nutritional vulnerability for the short and medium term.
