    Abstract
    The ejidos, or communal farms, of northeastern Mexico traditionally produce cattle, goats, corn, and beans. In addition, several plant species are gathered for sale as food, fiber, or other uses. The present governmental policy is to provide price supports for the gathered plants as an incentive for families to remain on the ejidos. An alternative to this program is a program of grazing land improvements to provide increased forage for cattle and goats. On the Ejido Noria de Guadalupe in the state of Zacatecas, analysis of the marginal contribution of increments of labor clearly shows that improvement of grazing would be more effective in attracting families to the ejidos than the present practice of price supports but would result in some challenging changes in social organization./Los ejidos o predios comunales del norte de Mexico se caracterizan por ser productores de ganado vacuno y caprino, y en menor escala, productores de maiz y frijol. Como una actividad adicional se realizan colectas de ciertas especies nativas de las cuales se obtiene fibra, hule, productos quimicos y alimento para humanos. La politica actual del gobierno consiste en subsidiar estas actividades para proporcionar empleo y fortalecer el arraigo al ejido. Una alternativa al programa actual consiste en incrementar la produccion de forraje, mediante una serie de mejoras en el manejo total del ejido. En el caso especifico del ejido Noria de Guadalupe, Zac., el analisis demuestra que los margenes de contribucion, debido a un incremento en la fuerza de trabajo, son mayores para las actividades de pastoreo bajo las condiciones propuestas que la practica de subsidio vigente en la actualidad. Sin embargo, esta nueva propuesta demanda desafientes combios en la organizacion productiva del ejido para que sea congruente con las estrategias de manejo propuestas.
