According
to the National Institute of Geography and Statistics (INEGI) in San Felipe
Guanajuato during 2011 of the total
sown area 71,570 acres were harvested only 23,307 http://www3.inegi.org.mx/sistemas/mexicocifras/?e=11&mun=30. The main problem is the drought. San Felipe has become in a drought
area because of the excessive use of wood. Farmers’ crops do not have enough
water and have to be watered just in rainy seasons. Not all of the communities
have a water dam and the ones that do aren't deep and very small. Water
scarcity makes a fall in the crops and people do not have seeds to eat like
beans or corn, and much less to sell. At other times the land is abandoned and
no longer used because of poor harvests, our target population is those farmers
who are affected.
