From a theoretical perspective focused on an agro ecological view, and considering peasant families as actors with agency, this paper documents the current agri-food dynamics that threaten the rural territories of the municipalities of Jala and Santiago Ixcuintla, Nayarit, and shows that peasant families are reacting against them. Dispute movements around peasant food production and, with it, the defense of constructed and re-signified territorialities, do not always occur in the public arena; however, the article argues, with, without and despite government “food support” interventions , families solve their diet need through multiple strategies, including production -at diverse levels of market integration and self-consumption-, gathering, wage-labor and/or mutual help, as well as support and exchange networks for food and other resources. Peasant families in their everyday activities, and organized groups around them, redefine external interventions and are capable of building organized and socio-productive actions.
