- Abstract
Objective: To know the productive cultural dynamic that underlies to coffee agroecosystems in Sustainable Rural Development District 005 of Fortín, Veracruz, Mexico. Methodology: A survey with open and closed questions was applied. Information submitted to variance analysis, Tukey tests and frequency tables. Results: Coffee agroecosystems in Mexico are complex systems with an underlying particular cultural dynamic that expresses a worldview and that not only influences life, but also the reproduction of certain handling practices the logic of which goes beyond economy. Coffee activity is performed mostly by tradition (39%), characterized by Coffea arabica agroecosystems under the shadow (100%), with a performance lower than 5.87 t ha-1. Limitations: It is a case study for a specific zone of the state of Veracruz and the results reflect a local reality. Findings: Producers perform up to four economic activities external to their trade to complement their family income; the paradox is that this has served as a foundation for continuing the coffee-growing activity, reduces its economic vulnerability and eases the continuity of their production mode and lifestyle.
