The purpose of this work is to analyze the modalities of domination, subordination and resistance by seasonally hired migrant workers in Mendoza's agriculture. In this context, I emphasize on how they experience their employment situation in the migratory context and on the heterogeneous to face them. This information was organized from a multilocal ethnographic fieldwork with migrant workers in the fruit and vegetable productions from Mendoza between 2009 and 2015. The results aim at highlighting that the control-resistance dialectic is sometimes activated from the control pole -mainly good performance- and sometimes from the pole of resistance -particularly reacting against bad working conditions and broken promises by intermediaries.

This article analyzes the implication of corporative food regime on maize production in a rural municipality located in central Mexico; Tonatico, Estado de México. Transnational agribusiness' dominion have been constituted under such corporative food regime and have gained control on the world food system. In addition the food crisis (2008-2014) plays an important role. Within this context, it will be demonstrated how corporations base their dominion on overexploitation and dispossession of campesinos since they are poorly paid, sometimes even below the production cost. In the nineties, an undervalued staple grain price was established in the world market and Mexican campesinos had to compete with farmers in the United States after implementation of the neoliberal model. In 2003 the international food price, together with the oil price, began to increase. Between 2008 and 2014 the situation turned into a food crisis at a global level. When international food prices fell by the end of 2014, the maize price in Tonatico decreased to the same level it was before the crisis although the costs of agricultural inputs were still rising.

This article analyzes the problem of food shortages in Cartagena de Indias in the second half of the eighteenth century and first decade of the nineteenth century. It examines the soil conditions in the province, its water resources, and diverse types of production, all of this to be able to assert that at the time in the territory the natural conditions for agricultural and meat production were given. However, both economic and political interests of the local business sector endeavored to prove the absence of suitable conditions for agricultural production in order to push the import of foreign products, among which flours.
