En esta investigación se identificó la pobreza campesina con base en los lineamientos de la ONU y las estadísticas oficiales mexicanas. Se estimó la evolución de la pobreza campesina y los hogares que realizan autoconsumo de 1992 a 2018. Se encontró, por medio del análisis de la evolución de la desigualdad y el uso de herramientas distributivas que el autoconsumo ha perdido relevancia en las fuentes de ingreso de los hogares campesinos en pobreza. Por medio de un modelo de regresión basado en la descomposición de la desigualdad se corroboró que el autoconsumo ha disminuido su proporción dentro de las fuentes de ingreso de los hogares campesinos aun cuando aumenta la pobreza. In this research, rural poverty was identified based on United Nations guidelines and official Mexican statistics. We then analyzed the evolution of rural poverty and households that rely on self-consumption from 1992 to 2018. It was found, through this analysis of the evolution of inequality and distributive tools, that self-consumption has lost relevance as a source of income for poor rural households. By means of a regression model based on the decomposition of inequality, it was confirmed that self-consumption has decreased within the sources of rural household income even when poverty has increased.
