Since the creation of the national research, agriculture, livestock and forestry, until the creation of INIFAP in 1985, actions for transference were done separately and with unmeasured scope. Always inlinear schemes from abroad, institutions related to the agricultural and forestry sector was until the 2000s when Mexican researchers around the Southeast region of Mexico, initiated the paradigm shift by replacing the linear models, followed by management of innovation, the results are quite encouraging in flat, hilly and with high degrees of marginalization areas, curiously more poverty levels are observed where there's richest biodiversity. In the INIFAP have been implemented 14 transfer models seeking innovation management, of which seven are linear and seven have been participatory, and these have been enriched with the addition of more methodological tools such as planning methodology based on logical framework, social network analysis, and especially the participation of the main beneficiaries actors, according to the new rurality are not only men, but women, youth, seniors and members of the original peoples.
