| Popis: | Population growth and its demands make the agriculture and livestock sector increasingly more dynamic and complex, therefore, making typologies become frameworks for the development of public policies, especially for arid and semi-arid regions. The objectives of this study were: (i) to create a multidimensional typology that integrates the characterization and classification of diverse types of agriculture (CTA) with the characterization and classification of the types of farmers (CTF); and (ii) to identify the agriculture and livestock dynamics of the Western Potosino High Plateau region using a multidimensional typology. A total of 1044 farmers were interviewed using a structured questionnaire. The data was analyzed using cluster analysis as grouping technique. The crops of bean, maize, chili and onion, and the cattle and sheep livestock were the base of the agricultural and livestock income and they were the main productive chains of the region. Six types of CTA were identified, all mixed systems seek to provide greater certainty in income, and five types of CTF; the least capitalized were the most representative of the region (52.9 %). When combining CTA and CTF to create a multidimensional typology, it was observed that the main strategy of survival is based on pluriactivity and access to social programs and subsidies, where the non-agriculture and livestock activities represent more than 50 % of the family income. It can be concluded that there is a need for a paradigm shift from considering farmers as “rural employees” and not merely as farmers or peasants, generating the need for rural policies that takes into account this new paradigm. |
