Innovation In The Development Of Family Agricultural Production Units In Marginalized Localities From Oaxaca

The objective was to analyze the factors of innovation and their impact on the development of family agricultural production units (FAPU) of corn, beans and tomatoes crops in marginalized localities of Ejutla de Crespo in the Central Valleys of Oaxaca. The innovation was analyzed with a mixed non-experimental methodological process, using stratified-random sampling, by means of the questionnaire (n = 86) applied in 2017 and analyzed by means of goodness-of-fit tests chi(2)(alpha=0.05). The approach is systemic and evolutionary, with neochumpeterian theories. The results show the different innovation types, and how they are related to the crop and are independent of the locality. Nine out of ten factors influence some type of innovation. There is a better interaction of factors to innovate in the FAPU where the main crop is tomato in greenhouse.
