Abstract

In this article, we analyze reproduction strategies of Peasant
Domestic Units (PDU) in the Jucuapa Centro Community,
located in the Department of Matagalpa, Nicaragua, to
evaluate their development viability. Peasant strategies refer
to mechanisms that family units practice to endure nutritional
minimums and satisfy their basic needs, and secure their survival
and social reproduction. Peasant agriculture in this community
is immersed in a process of productive recomposition, with the
introduction or extension of products like coffee, fruits, large and
small livestock, which have allowed greater economic income.
However, reorientation of agricultural activities is insufficient
to guarantee the socioeconomic reproduction of the PDU, where
members must resort to performing activities outside the farm,
which are not agricultural activities but rather complementary,
whose logic is directed at obtaining the maximum economic
income and ecological potential.
