TORRES TORRES, Felipe. Food supply in Mexico: towards an economic and territorial transition. Prob. Des [online]. 2011, vol.42, n.166, pp.63-84. ISSN 0301-7036.

This study aims to present ideas on the reconfiguration of food supply and distribution in Mexico based on a consolidation of open economy processes. The assumption is that to begin with the impacts of the aperture model of food supply occur in the country's metropolitan zones, as these have greater consumer density and more income regularity, together with dominant interests, cultural sponsors and nutritional habits. The metropolises are axes of supply organization, implying structuring systems to adjust a model of demand according to the heterogeneous interests of their consumers. Food supply in Mexico is therefore immersed in a new transition that follows the transformations in consumption in the present economic development model.
