COMPARISON OF CURRENT AGRICULTURAL CYCLE IN ABOUT TEN YEARS AGO IN SAN JUAN JALPA MUNICIPALITY OF SAN FELIPE DEL PROGRESO MEXICO STATE: EVIDENCE OF ADAPTATION TO CLIMATE CHANGE

The objective is to determine the worldview that have indigenous people living in rural areas in relation to maize and to determine if they have noticed changes in annual rainfall pattern empirically. A contribution is the description of the work carried out in the cornfield and the solutions that are designed to combat the changes that have been observed in maize production. The results of the research show that most respondents are forced to perform the work of the milpa making adjustments in the traditional agricultural calendar, which stated that it had to produce entering the spring. In this sense, there is a dichotomy between the meteorological time, ritual time and time farm work, which the settlers are trying to get used to. Furthermore, we found that production has declined significantly over the years.
