| Sumario: | This research addresses the issue of food sovereignty in confrontation with the new trend of production of agrofuels. The analysis focuses on the cultivation of J. curcas. Specifically discusses the conditions of the food sovereignty of Sinaloa, in relation with the growing of J. curcas for the agricultural diversification of the mounfainous area of state as an effort to identify the maln constraints and opportunities of the crop. Agroecological zoning methodology is performed to identify the potential of the growing regions, in addition to econometric estimates that intend to assoclate variables as volume ofwater for irrigation, workers in the primary sector, volume of chemicals used in agriculture, planted area in summer time and food poverty related to food sovereignty of each municipality of Sinaloa, taking volumes of agricultural production as a proxy variable in the modeL From a prospective analysis, the results show that despite the fact that the potential income of J. curcas are than current revenues achieved by the small seasonal producers from Sinaloa, the social, economic and cultu costs associated tend to be higher than the achieved ones. The increasing demand of J. curcas, increases in a higher level demand for land, water, chemical inputs and human capital, which finally will erode the food sovereignty of the rural communitíes involved. Myths and realitíes around the yields of J. curcas on marginal lands are contrasted, to lts against climatic vulnerability, plagues, diseases and production yields. The obtained allowed to infer that while J. curcas is in the process of domestication, the risks and uncertainties of the activity will be greater than the benefits, both for the seasonal farmers and the sinaloan investors involved in the activity. |
