The objective was to typify bean farmers belonging to PRODETER ‘Sombrerete II’, in Zacatecas as well as to relate the proposed technologies to actions that reduce climate change. The sample size was 38 farmers. The data were obtained in 2020 through a survey with 10 dimensions: social, economic, government supports, production unit, seed, production, tillage, fertilization, biotic control and commercialization. The data were analyzed by cluster analysis, which showed that the 38 farmers were divided into three groups with different characteristics (p< 0.05). The dimensions that showed discriminant power (p< 0.05) were: production, tillage and biotic control. Group I was made up of 11 farmers and was characterized by low values in the social, support, production unit, production and biotic control dimensions, it has the highest values in the tillage dimension. Group II is made up of 19 members, it obtained the highest values in support, seed, fertilization, biological control and commercialization, the lowest values in the economic dimension and tillage. Group III is made up of eight farmers, it had the highest values in the social, economic, production unit and production dimensions, with the lowest values in seed, fertilization and commercialization. The typification of the farmers showed that the systems are completely rainfed and they carry out conventional cultural tasks. This typification will serve as a basis for future studies and to develop a technology transfer process that allows reducing the effects of climate change with highly marginalized farmers.
