This article analyzes how international interventions interact with livelihoods and agricultural practices of Mayan peasants. We use qualitative methodology and constructivism approach in two contrasting studying cases in Yucatan peninsula, both are Mayan communities. In first community the peasants resist, through the preservation of community organization, traditional agricultural practices that provide them with consumption assets (not cash) and the common management of their natural resources. In the second community, interventions affected the territorial appropriation, agricultural activities and the community organization, by accepting modernization and market demands.
