The following paper shows the urgency of incorporating sociological, anthropological and historical foundations for the structuring and promotion of public policies aimed at rural development such as pluriactivity and family agricultural production units. The importance of the analysis from the historicity of the socioeconomic relations of the peasants in their context, of the structure and internal dynamics of rural families, as well as their forms of interaction with the markets is fundamental for the diagnosis and the strategies towards the strengthening of Mexican agriculture.
