Summary:This study case is based on the community of Santa Cruz, municipality of Chilapa, from the State of Guerrero, Mexico. The data obtained from interviews, local groups of discussion & participant observation, allowed us to learn the heterogeneity of agrarian practices, processes of change & the established relationships among the social actors, as well as their relationship with natural resources; in the framework of modernity & their incidence on social strategies of rural reproduction. In the diversification of the agrarian practices, where those culturally appropriated to assure the subsistence & the modern that look for the local development are combined, one finds the cultivations of maize & tomato, & cattle, mats & mescal production, practices that have strengthened networks that enable social cohesion.
