Objective: Know the subjective impact of Covid-19 on producers of agroecological food in central Mexico. Methodology: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with producers who attend an alternative market that emerged from the Autonomous University of the State of Mexico. Results: The results indicate a negative impact on the areas of Access to sales spaces, Product demand, Workload, Health and family, and Inputs and production. In addition, it is shown that the producers implemented various strategies to mitigate the negative impact of the pandemic. Limitations: A small number of producers participating in an agroecological market held at a public university are included, serving as a guideline for further analysis. Conclusion: It was found that the perceived high negative impact did not occur in the same way for everyone, presenting various scenarios and strategies to mitigate the negative effects.

The brewing industry in Mexico is a key sector in the national economy. This is demonstrated by its economic performance: it generates 2.5 million direct and indirect jobs, produces a turnover of 6 billion dollars and incorporates 100 000 national farmers into its supply chain. The objective of this research was to analyze the factors that determine the competitiveness of the barley value chain (VC). Thus, links and strategies that contribute to strengthening competitiveness were characterized. Analytically, we started from Porter's four components that explain the competitive advantages of an economic actor, and the method formulated by ECLAC to identify internal and external variables of the VC, as well as their control or absence. It was found that the VC-cebada is made up of five links and its articulation is the result of the governance exercised by Grupo Modelo-ABInBev and Cuauhtémoc Moctezuma-Heineken México. Four factors explain the chain's competitiveness: level of articulation, innovation, physical infrastructure and organization. The VC is well articulated in the production zone; however, the brewers generate strong links only with large and medium)sized producers and limit the participation of small producers, generating an asymmetrical and exclusively functional vertical VC.

The farm tractor is the main source of power within a production unit. So for users of agricultural machinery, is a priority to have mechanisms to provide security to the end user or farmer in the operation and quality of tractors, for this the aim of this is to show the evolution of the normalization and certification of agricultural machinery in Mexico, impacts and trends, with a description of concepts and international organizations that have been referred to Mexico as well as the description of activities and OCIMA CENEMA. For this we took statistical data definitions and models of tractors amount of certificates, number of certificates granted on OCIMA protection structures, number of tractors and implements certified tractor Dictaminaciones unfavorable, by multiple sectors. As a result of the certification of agricultural machinery was obtained until June 2013, there are 76 certified tractors with a power to "drive" that ranges from 18,3 to 130 hp. Finally it should be noted that the purpose of OCIMA is to support and endorse the farmer met with Mexican standards (NMX) and specifications to ensure the good performance of his team.

The article examines the economic and sociocultural aspects of coffee production by small-scale farmers in Veracruz, Mexico. Identifying two main tendencies of coffee farming in the Xalapa-Coatepec region of Veracruz, the author compares these strategies and analyzes how they relate to the dynamics of the international coffee market and market positioning by producers. According to the article, the heterogeneous nature of production practices are linked to local social and historical contexts and reveal broader societal implications for farmers and the region.
