An analysis of the role of Laos and Mexico in the production of opium and opium ismade. For this particular analysis of the role of each of the countries in the productionof illicit cultivation is done. In a context in which the production of illicit crops everyday becomes important in its impact on the global and national economic development.Approximate behavior, in both countries, the main indicators of economicdevelopment of the agricultural sector, poverty and the historical production of theaforementioned illicit cultivation is done. Despite their marked differences in thebehavior of their performance indicators, there is a fundamental similarity role indrug production responding to the hegemonic logic of the capitalist world system.

The poverty situation of a major portion of the rural population, in a context of lostfood sovereignty, as well as the underachieving results of governmental programs,requires the search of new public policies which combine the territorial approachwith the recognition of regional diversity in the Mexican countryside. This paperfocuses on the technical assistance component. At the same time it also discussesits necessary conceptualization as a tool toward rural development processes. Given the results of the exclusionary modernization policy for the Mexicancountryside, it is argued for an inclusive rural development policy with farmers.This one must be based on broad participation of rural communities, and a mainrole of a new extensionism embodied in Territorial Development Agencies, as wellas a renewed commitment from society with peasant´s agriculture expressed in anew deal for the countryside.

In the municipally of Hechelchakan, Campeche corn is the crop that ranks firstin area planted, which accounted for 96.73% and contributed for 85.54% of totalagricultural production value. In the study region basically the corn yield productionis under rain mechanized system (TMF / MC). The proposed goal in the researchwas to identify the factors that determine variations in corn production. Threecorn productions functions were developed, a general one another for regionalproducers and other one for Mennonites producers. The model that was adjustedto the statistical evaluation of the field data was a linear model. The productionelasticities were calculated for each of producer groups. Considering the analysisof all producers, the corn production is a function of area planted, herbicides andwages. For regional producers the production is dependent of herbicides and forthe Mennonites producers are herbicides and wages. The herbicides elasticitiesfor each different types of producers were positive and less than one (0.47, 0.47and 0.64), reflecting small changes in output. While wage elasticities are negative(-0.23 and -2.26) and indicates that increases in the use of labor in productiongenerated decreases.

A business model is a logical representation of the products and services that thecompany offers to its clients, how is associated with these and the interaction withsuppliers, employees and the market. To improve the competitiveness and profitability of the company truck is required to improve the current business model.The objective of the present study was to analyze the technological and financialfactors that characterize some strategies of the business model. He was the mappingof network value and interviews with key players. The results indicate that theactions to be implemented to consolidate the business model must orient themselvesto: 1) form a guarantee trust to facilitate financing; 2) integrate the demandfor inputs to reduce costs by at least 10%; 3) support the management of training,transfer of technology, technical assistance and consulting services to producers;4) provide continuous information about the behavior of markets; 5) strengthenthe commercial channel; and 6) provide maintenance services to the orchards ofmango. The business model would allow the company truck articulate the valuenetwork in order to comply with the requirements of the market.

The following article exposes one of the effects of modernization in the traditionalcuisine of rural and indigenous communities of actual Mexico. This occurs duringthe transitional period of collective self-consuming in rural areas, moving towardsindividual consuming, where the sole act of eating stopped meaning sociabilityand spirituality and, becoming instead a mere act of rushed consumerism thuslacking any cultural meaning. A new alimentary model has been implemented thatis farways from being traditional, however it still keeps features of the originalmodel, since it continues the production of native ingredients which are consideredthe foundation of the cuisine of rural Mexican families, such is the case of corn.

The work that the gentle reader has in his hands, presents the results of a fieldstudy whose purpose was to begin analyzing the way in which it operated thetransit of teacher planning goals skills and mainstreaming in the educational levelbase, particularly in the agricultural technical secondary education in a local and specific context. To undertake such work, was elected Agricultural Technical HighSchool # 56, “Enrique Martinez y Martinez” located in the district of San MiguelTopilejo, Tlalpan, Distrito Federal.Field research attempted to identify in the classroom, the challenges, realitiesand successes inherent in the transaction of the mainstreaming strategy and planningof teaching competency, addressing the problem in a specific situation, thatis, in principle, based on reality the education system, then the school and finallythe classroom, especially considering his actors, directors, administrators, teachersand students, on the one hand and on the other, trying to detect the strategies ofschool community relations.
