ESPINOSA CORTES, Luz María. United States hegemony in the world agri-food order and the loss of food self-sufficiency in Mexico. Cienc. ergo-sum [online]. 2022, vol.29, n.1, e148. Epub 22-Ago-2022. ISSN 2395-8782. https://doi.org/10.30878/ces.v29n1a4.
We demonstrate that the commercialization of basic grains conducted by developed countries since the 1970s has weakened the traditional agriculture of historically dependent countries, and consequently the loss of their food self-sufficiency. In terms of methodology, a historical and descriptive analysis is carried out based on data from secondary sources and statistics. The results show that in neoliberalism, while the United States and China increased their world production and exports of corn and wheat, Mexico increased the import of these grains by following the non-traditional agro-export model to insert itself into the world order. Mexico has the challenge of recovering self-sufficiency, building the food sovereignty and guaranteeing the right to healthy food.
