Abstract
PEREZ-HERNANDEZ, L. María; NUNEZ-ESPINOZA, J. Felipe and FIGUEROA-SANDOVAL, Benjamín. Social networks and women organized for sheep production in Salinas, San Luis Potosí. agric. soc. desarro [online]. 2017, vol.14, n.3, pp.325-345. ISSN 1870-5472.
The dynamics of agricultural and livestock production units, managed by groups of organized men and women producers, represent the result of collective abilities for management and distribution of inputs of organization and trust. This allows characterizing the organizational profile with which these social groups are mobilized and locating the elements or actors that are central in the distribution of the benefits of the organizations. The Social Network Analysis (SNA) facilitated the analysis of the groups in function of their organizational quality and to identify, through the analysis of the exchange of the input of trust between women sheep producers, the possibility of establishing social network processes through actors with the potential of connecting different work groups. The groups analyzed showed an incipient organization fed by kinship processes and relational diversity that moved from the centralization of social prominence to the location of actors that linked different groups.
