The interviews were carried out from August to November 2014. The data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, X2 (chi2), and a test of mean differences. The results indicated that the backyard generates 9.3 % of the family economicincome, and that it takes on higher importance in households where the main source of income are agricultural and livestock activities versus non-agricultural and livestock ones. A significant relation was found (p?0.05) between using the backyard productively and food insecurity and dietary poverty. ; La agricultura de traspatio es de gran importancia para la seguridad alimentaria de las familias rurales que practican la agricultura familiar, debido a que genera alimentos, ahorro, e ingresos.
