| Sumario: |
To meet the growing demand for food, it is necessary to promote strategies aimed at strengthening agricultural and livestock activities that take place in local territories, as a feasible way to optimize available resources and generate positive impacts in economic, social and environmental terms. . Contributing to the generation of knowledge about regional production processes, their characteristics, conditions and areas of opportunity, allows knowing the problems they face, as a basis for proposing affordable alternatives that generate synergy between processes. This research was carried out in four municipalities of the Amecameca Region, State of Mexico (Mexico), in which, in addition to locating and characterizing the Production Units (PU) of edible mushrooms Pleurotus spp. the uses given to mushrooms and post-harvest substrates are recovered, in order to promote a better use for their nutraceutical properties in human and sheep feeding, respectively. In the field work, qualitative and quantitative information on the PUs was generated through the application of interviews and participant observation; In the same way, the collection of specimens that were taxonomically identified and cultivated in vitro in the laboratory was carried out, to obtain the mycelium used for the genotyping of the species. The information generated is analyzed comprehensively to highlight the areas of opportunity and the potential offered by these local resources for food security in the region. |
