DAMIAN HUATO, Miguel A. et al. Maize production potential and food security: the case of San Nicolas de los Ranchos, Puebla-México. Nova scientia [online]. 2016, vol.8, n.16, pp.352-370. ISSN 2007-0705.

Is exposed A technological model to increase the productive potential of rainfed maize with producers of San Nicolas de los Ranchos Puebla-Mexico. It was calculated the Index of Technology the Ownership Radicals (ITOR) and the Grade Progressive Technologies Employment (GPTE); were pooled to producers based on their performance in designing the technological model and was estimated real food security and potential.

There is no direct relationship between ITOR and yields, but with the GPTE; 29% of producers are efficient. 29% of farmers do not have food security. If producers of low and medium productive potential, may apply the technological model of efficient producers would increase on average 157% and 38% respectively.

Keywords : Technological model; radical and progressive innovations; knowledge dialogue; agro-ecological; agro-ecological paradigm headlights.
