“…Fragility is understood as the vulnerability of small farm holders to changes or uncertainty in the economic, social, and environmental conditions [40]. The external factor of migration has an important impact on the fragility of both economic and food security (Figure 3); indeed, in 2015, the injection of remittances represented from 9.0 to 14.6% of the gross domestic product of Ixmiquilpan and 14.6 to 36.2% in El Cardonal [41]. In both municipalities, the agricultural sales are low, but the total incomes are high; therefore, the cost-benefit ratio is in a medium range.…”

Agricultural sustainability depends on complex relationships between environmental, economic, and social aspects, especially with small farm holders from indigenous communities. This work was centered on two municipalities of Hidalgo State in Mexico, Ixmiquilpan (mainly irrigated systems) and El Cardonal (rainfed systems). Our objective was to understand the relationships between the small farm holders and their agricultural systems. We evaluated the sustainability of their agricultural systems and made some recommendations. We applied the Framework for the Evaluation of Management Systems using Indicators (MESMIS, Spanish acronym); thirty-one indicators were identified, and quantitative indexes were established to assess the sustainability. The results showed that adaptability was a critical factor for irrigated and rainfed systems, and the main problem identified was youth migration. Additionally, the access to water and economic resources and the management of environmental resources are necessary in order to increase the yield of agricultural crops. Therefore, a holistic approach that considers the organization of small producers and synergy between indigenous knowledge and modern technologies is required for the territorial development of the communities.

The small farm holders in Ixmiquilpan depend on external agricultural supplies and their agricultural infrastructure is scarce, but the remittances are not use for improving this infrastructure neither, for agriculture innovation or for acquiring supplies; remittances are mainly use for purchased food, for satisfying other necessities as well as building houses for the family.…”

Agricultural sustainability depends on complex relationships between environmental, economic and social aspects, in particular with the small farmholders from indigenous communities. This work was centred in two municipalities of Hidalgo State in Mexico, Ixmiquilpan (mainly irrigated systems) and El Cardonal (rainfed systems). Our objective was to understand the relationships between the small farm-holders and their agricultural systems, evaluating their sustainability and design strategies and pathways for the sustainable development for indigenous communities. For this, we applied the Framework for the Evaluation of Management Systems using Indicators (MESMIS, Spanish acronym). Thirty one indicators were identified and quantitative indexes were established to be used to assess sustainability. The results showed that adaptability was a critical factor for both systems, and the main problem identified was youth migration. Additionally, the access to water and economic resources, as well as management of environmental resources, are imperious needs to increase the yield of agriculture crops. Therefore, integral strategies need to take into account the organization of small producers and the combination of indigenous and modern technologies, to design technologies for the territorial development of the communities.

“…The international migration of Hidalgo residents experienced in the early 1980s was not an entirely new phenomenon. In the 1930s, inhabitants of the Mezquital Valley experienced the migration phenomenon to the United States (Álvarez, 1995;Serrano, 2008;Pizarro, 2010, Cortes, et al, 2020. Also, there is evidence about Hidalgo residents who were hired within the framework of the Bracero Program (Serrano, 2008).…”

Starting in 1980, Hidalgo began to experience an increase in the migratory intensity of its population. This phenomenon occurred due to the multiple changes in the country's productive sphere, which brought with it deep interregional differences between the states and, above all, a negative impact on its agricultural and livestock sectors. In turn, they also led to fewer employment opportunities. The local socioeconomic imbalance was juxtaposed to other factors such as the various economic crises, the attraction of the American market, the context of globalization, and the existence of social networks. All of this caused migration abroad, especially to the United States, to become a viable option, if not the only one for the survival of the Hidalgo population. The purpose of this text is to present, in a general way, the behavior of the migratory intensity of Hidalgo residents heading to the United States during the last 20 years.
