It allows the study of the territory through diagnosis and identification of the problems, and development of future community projects. This methodology can be adaptedto various fields of study, achieving greater participation and reducing inequalities among participants. In this research, "participatory mapping" servesto determine the perception of ranchers to implement sustainable production systems. The results show the collective needs of the study area, and indicate that the perception of ranchers before the change to sustainable production systems is favorable for its implementation.However,the greatest limitationareincentives and policies are needed to support this change until the systems areself-sustainable.
