The agroecological transition at the territorial level must promote reconnection between the production of agricultural products, food, goods and waste in the environments where they are generated, so it is necessary to understand their potential for reintegration into agroecosystems. In 2023, territories with greater agricultural diversity were identified within the rural development districts of the state of Veracruz, and the availability of agricultural waste for territorial reintegration was estimated through the analysis of statistical information and knowledge from key informants. The rural development districts of Fortín, Coatepec and Martínez de la Torre showed high agricultural diversity (3.45, 2.83 and 2.53, respectively), associated with a greater variety of agricultural waste; in contrast, productive diversity (3.05, 2.52 and 2.28) is related to the potential for agricultural waste production. The rural development districts of Coatepec and Martínez de la Torre showed greater territorial potential to generate agricultural waste. Estimates of losses in Coatepec for coffee crops range from 3 to 5%; for its part, Martínez de la Torre showed 1.5-5% agricultural waste generation in lemon. This methodology represents a first step to identify the potential of agricultural waste in territories for its reintegration through agroecological practices.
