In recent years, the growing crises of drug trafficking, violent crime, rule of law, elections and public goods distribution have come to dominate headlines in Mexico and abroad. This conference instead focuses on the critical issues of food and water sustainability as central to the national security crises Mexico is currently facing from the multidisciplinary perspectives of history, anthropology, economy, and public policy. The conference objective is to link the macro contexts of policies at the state level with consequences and responses at the micro ground level over the historical trajectory of the last eighty years. The presenters argue that food production, water consumption and rural outmigration are as much matters of national security as, and integral to, these other headline-grabbing issues.
