Objective: Analyze the contemporary scientific contributions of the Masters and Doctorate Graduate Program in Tropical Agroecosystems (PTA) taught at the Colegio de Postgraduados, Campus Veracruz, facing the current challenges of Mexican agriculture. Design/methodology/approach: A bibliographic search was carried out in SCOPUS and Web of Science, on papers (N = 92) published during 2014-2019 by PTA research-professors. A textual analysis was carried out using Nvivo Software to identify the scientific contributions, based on problematic categories suggested by FAO for Mexico. Results: Scientific contributions are more prolific in relation to the increment of agricultural productivity (66 %), to a lesser extent in sustainable practices (14.9 %), articulation of public policies (10.6%), and initiating in adaptation and mitigation of climate risks (8.5 %). Limitations of the study/implications: Findings excluded publications not indexed in SCOPUS or Web of Science or out of the analyzed period. Findings/conclusions: The PTA shows social relevance in the generation of knowledge, with scientific contributions to the current challenges of Mexican agriculture. However, they have mainly focused on increasing agricultural productivity; this does not allow the achievement of the challenges of the PTA towards research processes aimed at trans discipline. This suggests a new research role that approach disciplinary interfaces.

“…Para fortalecer la agricultura local del maíz es necesario incrementar los rendimientos por hectárea, los cuales se encuentran relacionados con el manejo del maíz y las variables de apropiación de innovaciones radicales y rendimientos sociales como la escolaridad, nivel de ingresos, e integrantes en la familia (López et al, 2019), y factores externos afectados por las condiciones naturales, sociales como la inseguridad del territorio (Cruz, Trujillo y García, 2020), reducción del gasto público para el fomento público (Casanova, Martínez, López y Rosales, 2019), así también preservar, fomentar y difundir el uso de las variedades nativas de común interés por los agricultores e investigadores en favor del ambiente (Cabrera, Carballo, Mejía, García y Vaquera, 2019;Cruz y Estrada, 2019).…”

“…Furthermore, a previous study indicates that 16% of farmers have opted to plant H-507 acriollado corn (a seed corn released by INIFAP in 1961) or CP-569 (seed generated and marketed by the College of Postgraduates to farmers in its Priority Attention Area). From the farmers' perspective, both seeds in conjunction with native maize are an alternative to the conditions of lower humidity and higher temperatures that affect the cultivation of corn (Casanova-Pérez et al, 2019).…”

Background. In Mexico, the transition from a welfare state to a minimal state in the eighties generated a change in public policies that affected the poorest farmers in the country. Objective. This study analyzes the transformation of agroecosystem management practices in an area of the Mexican sub-humid tropics as a result of government abandonment of this productive sector. Methodology. This research is qualitative and requires techniques such as in-depth interviews and fieldwork. Thirty-seven (37) interviews were conducted with farmers over 60 years old. Participants were identified based on an intentional sample using the "snowball" technique. These findings are theoretically interpreted through Luhmann's complexity paradox. Results. The change in public policies, as well as the reduction in public spending assigned to the agricultural sector, led to changes in the management practices of agroecosystems, especially among producers with fewer resources that led to a process of differentiation between them and, at the same time, the existence of multiple interdependencies between them, as a way of dealing with the complexity derived from the conditions imposed by the predominance of a market economy, the abandonment of the government and, in recent years, the uncertainty in the behavior of the main agroclimatic variables. Implications. This work is qualitative and carried out in a local context but provides highlights on changes in areas relatively similar to the study area. Conclusion. The process of differentiation and interdependence among agroecosystems is based on the use of various technical-productive strategies, in addition to the use of collective work and social trust as social resources that help producers with fewer resources to deal with a complex problem.
