Dr Bonilla Hernandez has been related to rural life in different ways during her life. She has undertaken research which aims to provide a wider understanding about rural life of young campesinos in Mexico. Hr main goal was to engage rural young people into a reflective process to analyze their decisions. They will then reflect on why they have decided to remain living in the countryside, which is their role in preserving traditional knowledge of food production and in Mexicans' food sovereignty. The ambition of this study is to highlight the key features of the modern campesina life of those young women and men who have chosen small food production as their way of life. She also addresses the interaction between rural youth decisions and grassroots groups, civil organizations, peasant movements and social policies that are focused on rural youth.
