In Mexico food policies offer an official view on the conditions of food supply, specifically on rural and indigenous settings, but based on a case study with the indigenous Mayas Macehuales of Quintana Roo, it is shown that the context of confrontation in which communities display patterns of social reproduction, are indeed in structural disadvantage, but not passively. Rather, it is through creating and recreating cultural options under their own framework set.
