Abstract
The overexploitation of water sources together with the lack of rain due to climate change that causes problems in the recharge of aquifers, this has led to the analysis of possible crops suitable for the current situation to ensure food self-sustainability in the future. Using a system of linear equations in an optimization model, emphasizing the water requirements to ensure the total development of the crop with new technologies, as well as the restriction to the availability of water for agricultural use in the region, feasible and substitutes crops were found. These crops maximize the value of production from the producer’s point of view and cross-price elasticities of supply. This tool will support decision-making in strategic planning in agribusiness and government policies.
