Abstract

DIAZ-RIVAS, Martha Azucena et al. Characterization of vegetable farmers participating in agroecological street markets in San Andres Cholula and Puebla cities, Mexico. Estud. soc. Rev. aliment. contemp. desarro. reg. [online]. 2023, vol.33, n.61, e231311.  Epub Dec 04, 2023. ISSN 2395-9169.  https://doi.org/10.24836/es.v33i61.1311.

Objective:

The objective is to know the qualities of vegetable producers who sell in agroecological street markets in San Andrés Cholula and Puebla.

Methodology:

Producers were censused and surveyed.

Results:

16 producers were interviewed, basically young-adults, landowners where they have been applying various agroecological practices for the last seven years. Family work and female participation were highlighted, in addition to the fact that 87% achieved food self-sufficiency. The producers perceived the environmental situation of their localities as good-regular. They have been promoting agroecological production for personal and public health; the greatest satisfaction is the recognition of the quality of their products. Most of them studied university degrees and inherited agriculture by tradition.

Limitations:

The study relied on truthful information declared by the producers.

Conclusions:

These producers are developing favorably in the different agroecological dimensions.
