Abstract

The performance of economic activities of small agricultural producers has been little studied. The article is part of the practical response to the global problem of destruction, fragmentation and isolation of the habitat with the predominance of human beings. The natural environment of the Sierra de Pachuca, in the transversal part of the municipalities of Actopan and Atotonilco El Grande, in the State of Hidalgo (Mexico), is being destroyed unprecedentedly. The objective is to analyze the use, management and conservation of plants gathered which are used for consumption and trade. The information is obtained through direct observation and interview. The major findings described all the species of plants that are used and preserved for food and trade. In the same vein, the territory and time in which the ancestral knowledge adapts to climate changes which affects the existence of the biodiversity and forest conservation is observed, last fundamental resource for the collective practice of preservation, which is seen congruent with the environmental protection. The article is the result of the research project entitled "use of the territory and population dynamics, subsidies for environmental planning and regional development".
