CADENA-INIGUEZ, Pedro et al. The MIAF, a viable alternative for hillsides in marginalized areas of southeastern Mexico: case study in Chiapas. Rev. Mex. Cienc. Agríc [online]. 2018, vol.9, n.7, pp.1351-1361.  Epub 30-Sep-2020. ISSN 2007-0934.  https://doi.org/10.29312/remexca.v9i7.1670.

The introduction of the maize system interspersed with fruit trees (MIAF) in the marginal areas of Chiapas represents an excellent productive option and productive reconversion in places where traditionally only the ‘milpa’ is cultivated, the yields obtained after the third year, have increased the expectations of the producers, even without having carried out a thorough market study, the average B/C ratio is above 2, so that this system implemented on hillside land would benefit at least 28 million Mexicans who live on condition of marginalization in southeastern Mexico, the physiographic characteristics of the lands of the producers, exceed more than 15% slope, characteristics of most of the states of the south-southeast, with the exception of the Yucatan Peninsula, which makes its establishment potentially feasible, producers would continue to produce their basic satisfactions and would have an economic activity in the short and medium term that would activate its economy.

Palabras llave : marginalization; MIAF; southeast of Mexico.
