CASANOVA-PEREZ, Lorena et al. Localized agri-food system: revaluation in a context of poverty and climate change in the Huasteca Hidalguense. Rev. Mex. Cienc. Agríc [online]. 2022, vol.13, n.3, pp.483-496.  Epub Aug 08, 2022. ISSN 2007-0934.  https://doi.org/10.29312/remexca.v13i3.2876.

This research aimed to characterize the localized agri-food system that still persists in three municipalities inhabited by Nahuatl population in the Huasteca Hidalguense in Mexico, characterized by its poverty, marginalization and vulnerability to climate change. The methodological tools were a survey on producers (n= 68) and consumers (n= 68) and a documentary review. The data obtained were analyzed with descriptive statistics. The results indicate that, in the Huasteca Hidalguense, there is a localized agri-food system in critical conditions, in whose operation the participation of small producers with limited resources and affected in their productive work by drought conditions in the last five years is essential. It is considered that the recovery and strengthening of the localized agri-food system in the region will strengthen the food and nutritional security of the population.

Keywords : food security; small producers; sustainability.
