Food route in circuits and traspatio production in Donato Guerra, Mexico

Abstract

Objective: Design a food route in circuits considering the backyard livestock activity, its natural and cultural resources in DG for its tourist use. Methodology: Tourist diagnosis that consisted in the application of a questionnaire to 250 visitors through a sampling non-probability, 70 interviews with rural inhabitants, an inventory of their patrimonies was made including an acknowledgment of infrastructure, tourist services; and the observational method for aspects of veterinary medicine and animal husbandry (MVZ) was applied in order to know the management of livestock production units. Results: Backyard production is related to local agricultural resources and traditional recipes derived from their cultural and natural heritage, which is a source of consumption for tourists, empowered through the design of a food route with five circuits, where its inhabitants are willing to incorporate tourism into their activities, and as a way to preserve their environment. Limitations: Agreements between all actors postpone actions. Conclusions: Rural tourism, in the face of the collapse of rural productive areas, can become the channel of distribution and commercialization of the various backyard agricultural products and encourage the use of the attractions of the place. Therefore, it is not about abandoning the agricultural or traditional knowledge, nor the nature of its landscapes, its history, quality of air and water because these are the bases for the community to take advantage of and develop rural tourism.
