The
Program for the Study of Economic Change
and Sustainability in Mexican Agriculture
(PRECESAM) is a special research program
that is a part of the Center of Economic
Studies at El Colegio de México.
Its fundamental objective is to carry
out studies of the Mexican rural sector
and contribute towards understanding the
effects of economic changes currently
underway on rural economic livelihoods
and the environment.
PRECESAM was founded in 1999 by Antonio
Yunez Naude and Edward Taylor, with the
aim of conducting binational studies and
research involving the collaboration of
researchers from El Colegio de México
and the University of California in Davis.
It has since expanded to include a network
of regional universities throughout Mexico.
