This paper aims to characterize the technological and organizational innovation processes that contributed to the integration of the dual-purpose livestock production system in Suaqui Grande, Sonora, Mexico. A chronological narrative representation of innovation processes was constructed through the application of semi-structured interviews to members of a sample of 12 cooperatives. The results show how the reconfiguration of the ejido scheme in these family businesses made the integration of the productive system possible. In addition, it was found that the empowerment of Unión de Los Soakis in the value chain links was based on the induction of innovations in their organization, equipment, and infrastructure, among other transcendental areas, but above all, on a shared vision of development. It is concluded that the management of technological and organizational innovations constituted the support for the productive integration of the participating communities between 2010 and 2015. A limitation was that the time elapsed between the adoption of innovations and the collection of information did not allow an in-depth analysis of producers and territory socioeconomic effects.
