Objective: Analyze the implementation of front labeling in foods and beverages, both internationally and nationally, and its application in the market of Hermosillo, Sonora. Methodology: It was carried out in two phases: 1) exploratory narrative analysis based on a bibliographic review and 2) observation technique at the point of sale. Results: 63 documents were selected from digital sources, and it was observed that regardless of the establishment, the most prevalent seal on the products is Excess Sugar, exceeding 50 % in each of them. Value: The importance of the use of Front Labeling to prevent Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases (CNDF) is recognized. Limitations: the lack of an analysis that measures the influence factor on the consumer's purchase intention. Conclusion: Labeling must be accompanied by the implementation of strategies that serve as a reinforcement regarding the positive perception of the client-oriented towards changing eating habits.

Objective: To analyze decent work in Mexico and its surrounding regions. Methodology: Using the principal components technique, a Decent Employment Index (DEI) is calculated with data from the National Survey of Occupation and Employment INEGI (2022). Results: The North and Center regions, with a Very High and High Decent Employment Index, respectively, reflect the best situation of decent employment in the country, while the Center-North region is classified in the medium stratum, as well as the country. For the South region, a Very Low decent employment index was obtained, showing the worst situation in promoting and disseminating decent work in Mexico. Limitations: The Decent Employment Index presented was calculated only for the country, regions, and states but not at the sectoral level. Conclusions: Thirteen states are in a critical situation due to having an IED that classifies them in the Low and Very Low strata. In the North-Central region: Nayarit, San Luis Potosí, Sinaloa, Michoacán, and Zacatecas; in the Central region: Guanajuato, Hidalgo, and Puebla; while in the South region: Chiapas, Guerrero, Oaxaca, Tabasco and Veracruz. Therefore, it is essential to direct efforts to promote and disseminate decent work in these three entities.

Objective: To document the traditional preparation of Sendechjo in San Nicolás Guadalupe, State of Mexico, to promote the food cultural heritage of the Mazahua community. Methodology: Semi- structured interviews were conducted with four chroniclers and cultural experts to identify the territory where Sendechjo is prepared, who prepares it, the techniques used, its current status, and its importance. The process of making the beverage was recorded three times in a participatory manner with Mazahua women from the community. The gathered information was then shared during a local conversation, in two radio interviews, and through a report in a national newspaper. This research was carried out between November 2022 and April 2024. Results: The essential ingredients for preparing Sendechjo include native blue corn, pine leaves, pulque, water, and piloncillo. The preparation time ranges from 25 to 30 days and involves six steps. The dissemination of information successfully introduced the beverage to various audiences. Limitations: Currently, Sendechjo is not widely recognized, which raises concerns about its future sustainability. Conclusion: Sendechjo, as prepared in San Nicolás Guadalupe, is a vital component of Mazahua culture that is at risk of disappearing.

Objective: To address these issues globally and within the context of Mexico, identifying opportunities in traditional practices and sustainable innovations. Problem statement: To analyze the environmental impact of current systems, with a focus on water and carbon footprints, as well as the structural barriers that hinder the shift toward more sustainable models. Methodological approach: Preparing this essay involved conducting interviews with farmers, along with a bibliographic review, to gather reliable information about food systems in Mexico and their relationship with sustainability, equity, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Primary sources (FAO, UNFSS, and Coneval reports) and secondary sources (academic articles, scientific reviews, and data analyses) were used, prioritizing information published between 2018 and 2024. Conclusion: This essay calls for collective action, highlighting the role of individual food choices in achieving global sustainability.

Objective: To analyze the level of knowledge and acceptance among the local population of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, Oaxaca, in response to the implementation of the Development Poles for Well-being (In Spanish PODEBI) program, to identify perceptions, expectations, and challenges faced by communities concerning these projects, under the assumption that low levels of knowledge about PODEBI are associated with lower confidence, which negatively impacts its acceptance by the local population. Methodology: A quantitative correlational approach was used. Information was collected through a survey administered to the population of the host municipalities. Results: Spearman's Rho correlation coefficient indicated a moderate and significant correlation between the level of knowledge about the project and its acceptance. Limitations of the study: Dispersion of the sample, which made it difficult to collect data in the field. Conclusions: Although the data obtained confirm that the population's knowledge of the project is positively associated with its acceptance, they also show that there is a favorable predisposition toward PODEBI, even without sufficient information. The importance of strengthening communication and dissemination strategies to consolidate community trust and participation in the development of the project is highlighted.

Objective: to analyze the relationship between Greenhouse Gases (GHGsa) as an indicator of environmental degradation and economic growth, expressed through the real Gross Domestic Product (GDPrsa) of the food, beverage and tobacco sector in Mexico. Methodology: three econometric models were determined: linear, quadratic and cubic, based on official data to verify the existence of the Environmental Kuznets Curve (CKA) during the period 1993-2022. Results: Of the models analyzed, the cubic form one best described the relationship between GHGsa, GDPrsa, and the vector of additional variables. A positive relationship was observed between GHGsa and GDPrsa, as well as between CENERsa and ENREN, and an inverse relationship with CGini. Limitations: lack of a broad historical series and additional variables that comprehensively analyze economic growth and environmental degradation. Conclusions According to the available information and for the period under study, the behavior of the analyzed variables followed an N- shaped pattern, like the CKA, but with a subsequent increase in emissions at high income levels. The study offers a novel contribution by analyzing the EKC for the food, beverage, and tobacco sector, where comparable previous studies are absent.

Objective: Analyze the entrepreneurial intentions of higher education students in the Toluca Valley, adopting the Theory of Planned Action (TAP). Methodology: 1) the framework of entrepreneurial intentions was analyzed, 2) the study variables were defined. 3) non-parametric data analysis was carried out. The survey was applied in forms, with students from two higher education universities located in the Toluca Valley; A quantitative and descriptive methodology was applied. Results: The analysis of results indicated the following trends in the entrepreneurial intention of the students: entrepreneurship was encouraged due to the lack of job opportunities or due to self-interest, the limitation they face is access to economic resources, students do not prepare for failure, the skills for entrepreneurship are considered to be ease of speech and adaptation; be empathetic and persevering; The study plan they are studying has subjects related to entrepreneurship; there are trained teachers; Society is in the permanent search for quality of life. Limitations: There was no total number of enrolled students, as well as the time for application. Conclusions: The students showed interest in knowing if they have entrepreneurial capabilities, with the aim of contributing to the improvement of the quality of personal life and their community.

Objective: Evaluate the perception of indigenous communities living in 3 estuaries of CBESS, on their socio-environmental problems, and systematize community proposals that are the basis of a public policy for community welfare and climate resilience in biocultural regions. Methodology: Mixed design, with 180 semi-structured interviews in 11 localities of the three indigenous communities of CBESS. Results: The people interviewed experience economic deprivation, characterized by low income, food insecurity, and water insecurity, while the impacts of climate change and public insecurity are very high. They observe an obvious environmental degradation of the estuaries, which affects their economy and food. Limitations of the study: Only three of the six stages were addressed by time and budget. Conclusions: A multisectoral organization that gives life to the CBESS is favorable as a public policy of community welfare and climate resilience.

Objective: To argue for the need to review the causal relationship between productivity and well-being in public policies aimed at promoting rural development, self-sufficiency and food security in Mexico, taking as a reference the Guaranteed Prices for Basic Food Products (PGAB) program. Methodology: Through the consultation of documentary sources and official databases, the coherence between the theoretical concepts cited in the official regulations and the actions of public intervention is analyzed. In addition, it contributes to the diagnosis of the problems that are sought to be addressed. Results: Rural public policies focus on increasing agricultural production, defining public problems through the causal relationship: low income leads to the abandonment of agricultural production and, consequently, to a greater import of grains. This reduces the complexity of the problems in rural territories to a vision of profitability. Limitations: To deepen the study, long-range field work is required that integrates various dimensions: economic, social, environmental and cultural. Conclusions: Improving rural development and the quality of life of farmers requires a historical perspective that addresses the structural causes of the rural crisis, a systemic vision that involves all actors and avoiding the instrumentalization of beneficiaries by building collective solutions.

Objective: to analyse knowledge transfer in raicilla production in Jalisco and determine what factors influence this process to understand the differences in knowledge transfer between producers who have learned traditionally and those who have adopted more modern methods. Methodology: mixed approach combining qualitative and quantitative methods. Based on Nonaka's knowledge creation model, semi-structured interviews were conducted with raicilla farmers and quantitative network analysis was applied to identify patterns of interaction and collaboration. Results: reveal that producers using traditional methods have greater centrality and are more influential in the knowledge network, highlighting the importance of preserving and promoting these practices. Limitations: the sample of raicilla producers was limited to members of the Consejo Mexicano Promotor de la Raicilla, which could limit the view of other products that are not part of the Council. Conclusions: The transmission of knowledge in raicilla production is emphasized as a dynamic, contextual, and heterogeneous process. Recognizing the key actors and the contexts in which knowledge is generated, transmitted, and reinterpreted is essential to ensuring the cultural continuity and sustainability of the raicilla sector.
