These internal representations are elaborated by each person about the real world and allow us to identify the appraisals of this specific phenomenon in their daily life. Qualitative research uses as methodological processes open-ended questionnaires with schematics that are implemented to 7 volunteer farmers and is developed through the creation of certain categories of analysis, according to the epistemological references of the phenomenon, taking into account the classification of the families of the models according to Camacho (2012), and the identification of the external representations proposed by Rodríguez (2001); based on the behavior of the phenomenon, The appropriation of the population under study in relation to this and the application of an instrument (questionnaire) that by a series of mediating questions complicates the response of farmers becoming more detailed, dynamic and accurate.
