This article contains results of a broad research conducted in the rural community of Ayoxuxtla de Zapata in the Mixteca Baja Poblana. The main objective of the research is to locate, describe and analyze agroecological processes from the close relationship between knowledge, practices and beliefs; considering that local traditional knowledge (culture) is in connection with the practical (productive) implications and the development of a cosmos in the reproduction of beliefs. It starts from the hypothesis that traditional knowledge is part of the local identity and are fundamental elements of the agroecological transition. Biotic and cultural processes related to traditional agroecosystems such as tlacolol are described and analyzed. Through the theoretical approach of ethnoecology and by means of a coarse ethnography, an integral reading of knowledge, practices and beliefs was made, which is systematized and presented in a biocultural matrix. In a table on epistemic plots of both agricultural activities is presented the comparison with agroindustrial production systems such as monoculture greenhouses found in the region.

Palabras llave : local knowledge; ethnoecology; biodiversity; peasant consciousness; agroecological transition.
