The invention of agriculture transformed human life, and pre-Hispanic Mexico was no exception. Maize was key to the rise of these civilizations. For centuries, the Mexican countryside has fed a nation while setting the stage for numerous social conflicts, transforming its men into protagonists of quests such as Independence or the 1910 Revolution. Land distribution, industrialization and the development of new technologies have marked the countryside going into the 21st century, confronting major challenges that will allow it to competitively join the global market.
