No results found.El Diagnóstico del Sector Rural y Pesquero tiene como objetivo identificar la problemática actual del sector agropecuario y pesquero, las características de la población afectada por estos problemas y determinar la pertinencia de las intervenciones de política pública sectorial con relación a la problemática actual identificada. La elaboración del diagnóstico responde a una de las recomendaciones emitidas en las evaluaciones externas de diseño realizadas a los Programas de la SAGARPA en 20081, l a cual establecía contar con un diagnóstico que identificara y definiera la problemática que enfrenta el sector agropecuario y pesquero de México. El diagnóstico está dirigido a los tomadores de decisiones, ya que su información permite sustentar el diseño de políticas públicas relacionadas con el sector agropecuario y pesquero. Sin embargo, la información y análisis que se presenta es también de utilidad para una audiencia más amplia. Es en este contexto que el diagnóstico ha sido elaborado por el proyecto de Evaluación y Análisis de Políticas para el Campo (UTF/MEX/089/MEX) en el marco de la cooperación técnica entre la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Alimentación y la Agricultura (FAO) y la Secretaría de Agricultura, Ganadería, Desarrollo Rural, Pesca y Alimentación (SAGARPA). -
