This research aims to identify the characteristics of the population in the agricultural sector of Aguascalientes. This entity has comparative advantages due to its strategic geographic location to supply a demanding market for food products. It is estimated that there are approximately 17,234 heads of households dedicated to agricultural businesses with an average age between 49 and 57 years. Furthermore, 36.43% of the members have food insecurity problems (mild, moderate, severe). We used a logistic regression model; socioeconomic variables of the sector are analyzed. The results show that the agricultural population has high levels of social service deficiencies. It is suggested the importance of undertaking social public policies that address problems related to the rational use of water, protected agriculture, access and quality of public services, promote value chains in the sector, and undertake a process of productive reconversion.
