El objetivo de este artículo es analizar las percepciones de las mujeres agricultoras en México para identificar su interpretación en relación con: (1) las principales actividades que realizan en el campo, (2) el uso de maquinaria y las labores agrícolas, (3) la valoración de su trabajo, (4) las oportunidades laborales, (5) los recursos y apoyos necesarios para mejorar la producción, (6) la toma de decisiones en la siembra, (7) el acceso a la capacitación y desarrollo, (8) las implicaciones del cambio climático, (9) los desafíos que enfrentan en el campo y (10) las propuestas para fomentar su participación en el sector agrícola. Es un estudio cualitativo; la obtención de información se realizó mediante entrevistas semiestructuradas a once mujeres originarias de municipios de Hidalgo, Puebla, Estado de México y de la alcaldía Xochimilco en la Ciudad de México. Se encontró que las mujeres expresaron que su trabajo no es valorado, se mantiene la creencia de que ellas son proveedoras de cuidados y son encargadas de las labores domésticas; muchas productoras a pequeña escala no cuentan con ingresos económicos y las que trabajan para algún patrón se les paga por día, y reconocen que ganan menos que los hombres. Además, las tierras en su mayoría son propiedad de los esposos o las rentan a varones; las mujeres expresan que no tienen derecho a heredar la tierra y que su toma de decisiones todavía es un asunto reservado, aunado a que se considera que el campo es masculino. Se concluye que es necesario apoyar al campo mexicano con perspectiva de género pensado que las mujeres son la fuerza más poderosa de la soberanía alimentaria.

Throughout history, indigenous people have maintained a cultural heritage that is immaterial to their communities and societies, as well as the legacy of knowledge, traditions, and productive practices associated with their native and creole seeds. These communities face a variety of issues that threaten their identity and wealth due to cultural erosion and biodiversity loss. In order to address this issue, a pilot process was implemented to reinforce territorial systems of innovation with differential approaches to consolidate, local and communitarian, in the valuation, preservation, production, and conservation of native and creole seeds in the territories of the community of Kamëntsá Biyá (Putumayo-Colombia). The actions were concentrated on establishing a Red de Guardianes de Semilla and supplying native and creole seeds for communal areas, locally referred to as Chagras. It promotes the conformation of a local Red de Guardianes of native and creole seeds and the recovery of corn seeds throughout rematriation. The integration of the visions and interests of the Amazonian Piedmont community with the trajectories of institutional intervention posed a challenge in the implementation of this initiative.

Peasant women are at the center of the struggle for land and resistance to the hegemonic model of agriculture. This article refers to a qualitative study carried out with peasant women from the Quilombo Campo Grande, located in the state of Minas Gerais, in Brazil. It is a territory whose history is rooted in land occupation processes organized by the MST (Landless Rural Workers Movement). The objective of this study was to analyze the strategies adopted by women regarding seeds and their relationship with the development of agroecology. Data for this article was collected through participant observation, semi-structured interviews and focus groups. We have noticed that agribusiness and financialization are central to understanding power relations in the current food system. On the other hand, agroecology has provided the basis for several strategies that go against the hegemonic model. When fighting daily for agroecology, the strategies adopted by peasant women constitute an important reference in the fight against the financialization and commodification of the agri-food system.

The present work focuses, first of all, on the legal and political dimensions attached to the concepts of environment, agriculture, and nutrition in the European Union. Secondly, we analyze the projection of the sustainability principle in food policy since the approval of the European Green New Deal, and the development of the "Farm to Fork" strategy. On this basis, we examine the concepts of food safety and food sovereignty, and their relationship to the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), and other norms. Finally, we discuss from a legal-administrative perspective how the "Farm to Fork" Strategy has been implemented in the areas of prevention, control, and punishment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

La pérdida de la agrobiodiversidad y la erosión de los recursos fitogenéticos son fenómenos acentuados recientemente por el impacto de la variabilidad climática y de acciones antropogénicas. Estos fenómenos fueron identificados en sistemas locales de producción de semilla (SLS) y en comunidades agrícolas locales, como el pueblo indígena Kamëntsá-bija en el Putumayo, Colombia, para maíz. El diálogo intercultural le permitió a AGROSAVIA acercarse a comunidades agrícolas y construir estrategias para fortalecer los SLS, y simultáneamente, mejorar la seguridad y soberanía alimentarias locales. Una estrategia para mitigar la pérdida de maíces nativos es la que denominamos “Rematriación”, y que desarrollamos con los Kamëntsá-bija. Para ellos, el fortalecimiento de su sistema de producción agrícola —denominado jajañ— inicia con la recuperación de maíces nativos desaparecidos por factores antropogénicos o climáticos. La “Rematriación” robustece su base agrícola, alimentaria y cultural. Para recuperar los maíces desaparecidos empleamos las accesiones en los Bancos de Germoplasma para la Alimentación y la Agricultura (BGAA) de Colombia, que son administrados por AGROSAVIA. Allí identificamos 10 accesiones recolectadas en el Putumayo y conservadas por más de tres décadas. Posteriormente, acordamos con los Kamëntsá-bija incrementar estos materiales para retornarlos a la comunidad. Este incremento se ejecutó en el Centro de Investigación La Selva, de AGROSAVIA (Rionegro, Antioquia), cuyas condiciones agroclimáticas son óptimas para incrementar maíces de clima frío moderado, además de ser similares a las del Putumayo. Establecimos una parcela exclusiva de incremento bajo polinización controlada por accesión y obtuvimos semilla de calidad. Paralelamente, fortalecimos la Red de Guardianes de Semillas Kamëntsá para que incrementen, produzcan y conserven —bajo sus prácticas culturales— la semilla retornada. La “Rematriación” es el retorno consciente y respetuoso de semillas nativas a las comunidades, con el reconocimiento de su valor intrínseco y la preservación de las prácticas culturales asociadas a las semillas. La “Rematriación” se fundamenta en el respeto y la compresión cultural, y prioriza la participación comunitaria durante el fortalecimiento de los sistemas de producción agrícolas propios desde la interculturalidad. Finalmente, esta contribuye a la soberanía, seguridad e identidad alimentarias de las comunidades. Facilita la conservación y el rescate de la agrobiodiversidad con procesos ex situ e in situ. Aquí, describimos los principios de la Rematriación y detallamos las acciones hechas con los Kamëntsa-biya para articular la conservación en el BGAA y la recuperación de semillas de las comunidades. Así, enriquecemos la entrega de semilla a las comunidades y fortalecemos las capacidades de los SLS.

Ante la crisis ambiental, dietas homogenizadas y pérdida de conocimientos tradicionales, es importante entender el papel de las mujeres para la conservación de agrobiodiversidad y la soberanía alimentaria. El objetivo fue identificar el diálogo de saberes entre mujeres rurales e instituciones de educación y desarrollo, para revalorizar y visibilizar sus conocimientos tradicionales en torno a la agrobiodiversidad, así como su contribución a la soberanía alimentaria. La investigación se llevó a cabo en ocho comunidades del municipio de Ixtlahuaca, mediante técnicas etnográficas, se observó el uso y manejo de la agrobiodiversidad a partir del diálogo de saberes. Los resultados muestran que el diálogo de saberes permite innovar en la producción de alimentos, rescatar plantas alimenticias locales y visibilizar los conocimientos tradicionales femeninos. El diálogo de saberes es clave para valorar y aprovechar estos conocimientos tradicionales femeninos a nivel local para la conservación de la agrobiodiversidad como parte de la soberanía alimentaria

El artículo se orienta a profundizar sobre el lugar de las mujeres vinculadas a iniciativas de agricultura urbana comunitaria y a reconocer sus prácticas de resistencia colectiva en siete iniciativas ubicadas en el noroccidente de la ciudad de Bogotá, Colombia, a partir de una metodología cualitativa, con un estudio de caso múltiple y resaltando la importancia de un análisis interseccional en las experiencias de las participantes. Se encuentra que, junto con una apuesta por la soberanía alimentaria, se persigue la transformación de las formas de relacionamiento con la naturaleza y la vida ampliada, así como la resignificación y apropiación del espacio público. Se concluye que las mujeres juegan un relevante rol en la autogestión comunitaria con un alto reconocimiento de sus saberes y quehaceres; las redes de afectividad y el intercambio intergeneracional fortalecen la autonomía y liderazgo femenino, que se irradia a otros escenarios de participación sociopolítica. Todo lo anterior las convierte en apuestas contrahegemónicas y de resistencia al modelo capitalista y androcéntrico.

En las primarias del subsistema de educación indígena escasamente se reflexiona sobre -y se acciona para- la crisis socioecológica planetaria. Asimismo, poco se abordan los conocimientos indígenas locales como estrategias situadas de sustentabilidad. El objetivo del presente estudio fue generar una propuesta de articulación entre los conocimientos del currículum y aquellos conocimientos locales que favorecen una soberanía alimentaria en una comunidad indígena de Veracruz para contribuir a una educación ambiental crítica y situada. Fueron dos las principales aproximaciones teóricas: ecofeminismos y aprendizaje situado para una educación liberadora. Desde una metodología cualitativa participativa y con un enfoque de estudio de caso se diseñó e implementó en colaboración con una docente indígena que atiende una primaria unitaria, una propuesta educativa basada en progre-siones de aprendizaje. Se utilizaron entrevistas, conversaciones informales y observación participante. Los resultados se reflexionan en dos direcciones: a) de qué forma mediante procesos de enseñanza-aprendizajes ecofeministas se contribuye a la soberanía alimentaria; b) qué implicaciones genera el abordaje de dicha propuesta en un espacio en el que históri-camente se discriminan otros sistemas de conocimiento -como lo es la escuela- y qué aporta en el ámbito de la educación ambiental.

Objective: To offer a general overview of food security in Mexico in the context of food crises. Methodology: Various bibliographical research sources documenting the state of the art on this topic were reviewed and analyzed, as well as statistical information from official sources in Mexico, in addition to documentary archives of previous research developed at CIAD. A. C. and other institutions. Results: Food crises in Mexico have a direct impact on the state of food security. Its complex and multifactorial nature appears closely related to long and short term conjunctural situations that link some of the particularities of economic, health, supply, and ecological crises, among others. In this sense, this study provides a general context of updated documentary and statistical analysis that contributes to reflecting on the food situation in the country. Conclusions: it is considered that, beyond the official results against food crises, concepts or strategies such as self-sufficiency, sovereignty and food security should not continue to be considered exclusive terms in political discourse, since it is necessary to resize their scope and principles in order to achieve an effective agroproductive food model of sustainable development, focused on strengthening the food quality of mexicans.

The objective of the research is to identify the dimensions, elements and characteristics that integrate traditional knowledge (TK) present in a network of peasant farmers from seven communities in the state of Guerrero, this aims to obtain information on how TK can contribute to building food sovereignty in a region. The methodology is qualitative, based on fieldwork and a comprehensive document review, supported by the Atlas Ti software, for data organization and analysis. The results show that, in the case of seven communities in the State of Guerrero, three dimensions of TK are identified: social dimension, time dimension and subjective dimension; all of them formed by various elements (they are interactive, oral, practical, cultural, adaptable, generational, subjective/mystical and variable by gender). The limitations are related to the scope of the results, since they focus exclusively on seven communities in a given region. It is concluded that, in the case of the locations analyzed, the dimensions and elements of TK that they have can contribute to the construction of a long-term food sovereignty, thanks to the knowledge, techniques and experiences possessed, that are aligned with the principles of food sovereignty.

This article aims to analyze the contribution of the quilombola socio-productive terreiros in Salvaterra, in the Marajó Archipelago, PA, to the Food Sovereignty of the communities in which they are located, with a focus on the role of quilombola women in managing and caring for these terreiros. To contextualize theresearch, bibliographical analysis, participant observation and semi-structured interviews were employed. The use of the field diary and photographic records complemented these instruments. Field research was conducted between April 2021 and June 2022, through the Snowball technique, 18 quilombola women were involved in the data collection process. The analysis shows the predominance of women's work in the management and the selection crops cultivated on the farms. In the 18 terreiros visited, 45 fruit species and 38 medicinal species were identified, in addition to the raising of chickens, ducks and pigs. These terreiros are biodiverse spaces that contribute significantly to the Food Sovereignty of quilombola families. Furthermore, they serve as spaces for the transmission of ancestral knowledge, health care and leisure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The "corporate food regime" in Mexico rested on the dismantling of national agricultural production, but in 2018, with the rise of the progressive government, some neoliberal guidelines were reoriented in the interest of recovering food sovereignty. To this end, a public policy was developed to encourage agroecological grain productivity among small producers. In this context, this study diagnoses the state of the indigenous peasant economy in the municipality of San Miguel Talea de Castro, Oaxaca, Mexico, to explain the logic that guides the Zapotecs to adapt the Production for Wellbeing program to their economic, social and cultural livelihoods. Methodologically, we start with a survey of the socioproductive environment, and then later ethnograph the local management of the program. The main finding shows the failure of agroecological production of basic grains, but its positive impact on coffee production. It is concluded that it is necessary to rework the policy guidelines, considering the perspective of local actors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this study is to understand the economic-ecological flows of Successional Agroforestry Systems (SAFS) in agroecological agroecosystems in the Serra dos Tapes region (RS). For this purpose, the LUME method was used: Economic-Ecological Assessment of Agroecosystems developed by the Advisory and Services for Projects in Alternative Agriculture (AS-PTA), based on its experiences accumulated since 1989. This method provides a theoretical-methodological and analytical apparatus for mixed model (quali-quantitative). With this tool, three agroecological agroecosystems that have been producing in SAFS for more than 10 years were studied. Among the main results, it was observed that they move up to 126 economic-ecological flows and that the Serra dos Tapes Successive Agroforestry Systems (SAFST) are expanding subsystems, presenting capacity and productive diversification. It is concluded that SAFST are multifunctional, that is, they fulfill their primary function of producing food, in addition to increasing biodiversity and improving the socioeconomic condition of the places studied, promoting territorial markets and being an important tool for the expanded reproduction of life in the context of agroecological family farming in this region.

Achieving food sovereignty is a critical goal in the sustainable development agenda through 2030. This issue is a subject of extensive state-level debates, and Ecuador has recognized it as a fundamental right in its Constitution. Despite significant resource allocation and extensive discussion, notable implementation obstacles remain. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the relevance of these obstacles in achieving food sovereignty in Ecuador, using a neutrosophic soft set approach. Empirical methods, including interviews and a neutrosophic soft set model, were employed for this purpose. The findings indicated that of the four initial statements, only three were true, and their importance was ranked as follows: first, the need to ensure the right to healthy food for vulnerable groups; second, the limited resource allocation to rural producers to increase regional food production; and third, the inadequacy of the legal framework to guarantee Ecuadorians' right to food sovereignty, in accordance with international agreements and the national Constitution.

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo destacar al atole, bebida derivada del maíz, como parte del patrimonio biocultural de México que apunta la soberanía alimentaria de los territorios. El sistema alimentario global tiene impactos negativos sobre el medio ambiente, la cultura y los sistemas alimentarios locales, volviendo vulnerables a las personas que habitan territorios ricos en biodiversidad y genera dependencia al consumo de productos no locales, ocasionando los desiertos alimentarios. En ese sentido, primero se abordan los conceptos patrimonio cultural y sus características enmarcadas por la Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU); y biocultural, por la Comisión Nacional para el Conocimiento y Uso de la Biodiversidad (Conabio). Ambos conceptos se complementan y ayudan a comprender cómo el alimento está íntimamente relacionado con la cultura, los significados, rituales; así como con la geografía y la biodiversidad habitada por las diversas comunidades indígenas. El segundo apartado profundiza en el papel del maíz como parte de la dieta de los mexicanos y su composición nutrimental; narra la historia del atole y su importancia en la alimentación e incluye entrevistas a profundidad con la cocinera tradicional Ady Pech de la comunidad de Nuevo Durango, ubicada en Quintana Roo, para reconocer los significados y rituales de la preparación de los atoles de su comunidad. El tercer y último apartado aborda el concepto de seguridad alimentaria propuesto por la ONU y el de soberanía alimentaria, que desde nuestro análisis resulta más completo. En este apartado se discute la importancia de retomar los sistemas alimentarios locales.

People establish environmental and cultural relationships with the plants with which we share spaces in urban and peri-urban contexts. Some of these living beings most affected by urbanization, the city’s growth, and its policies are perennial native plants and other long-lived local plants, for which we need space and a commitment to maintaining them in the future. These plants include the diversity of trees, shrubs, agaves, nopales, and vines that we urbanites live with daily. This work addresses the questions: what are the long-lived (perennial) food plants in Morelia, and how are they used? By whom and how are they cared for? How can these beings be considered a legacy for life care in the urban and peri-urban contexts of this and other cities? The general objective of this work is to understand the relationships and contributions of native and local trees and other long-lived plants to the diet and living heritage of the city of Morelia. Through the bibliographic review, participant observation, agroforestry transects, and informal and in-depth interviews, we describe forty-one of the main perennial plants used for food in the city and its surroundings, as well as the people and groups that carry out their activities care and that they use them in food. We discuss the relevance of this biocultural legacy for life in the urban context. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

El acceso de la población a una alimentación sana y sostenible es un derecho humano básico, que no siempre se cumple. En este artículo se analiza cómo se está garantizando este derecho en el Estado español, desgranando algunos de los mecanismos existentes para hacer frente a la inseguridad alimentaria. Asimismo, se recogen algunas experiencias concretas que intentan dar respuesta a estas situaciones, tanto desde lo comunitario como desde lo institucional, poniendo la mirada en los aportes que desde la agroecología se están realizando en el debate sobre la transformación de las ayudas alimentarias en nuestro país.

Mediante el presente trabajo buscamos dar cuenta de una serie de circuitos cortos de comercialización alimentaria con mercados de cercanía en el Partido de Quilmes (Provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina), particularmente de aquellos que, en su interior, incorporan nodos de consumo. Nuestro objetivo se dirige a identificar, caracterizar y analizar el funcionamiento de esas experiencias enmarcadas en la Economía Social, Solidaria y Popular. Para ello, primeramente describimos la metodología empleada –la cual se asienta, principalmente, en determinados supuestos ontológicos, epistemológicos y metodológicos del paradigma interpretativo– como así también el contexto espacio-temporal de la investigación. Luego, recurriendo a la noción de espacio geográfico y red, describimos las principales características de estos circuitos que involucran la distribución de alimentos de origen agrícola. Posteriormente realizamos un análisis más detallado de algunas de las dimensiones involucradas en los mercados de cercanía organizados en torno a nodos de consumo. Finalmente ensayamos algunas reflexiones a modo de conclusiones.

Las contribuciones del Programa Agricultura Urbana, Suburbana y Familiar en Cuba, constituyen antecedentes de la Ley 148/2022, Soberanía Alimentaria y Seguridad Alimentaria y Nutricional y del reglamento dispuesto en el Decreto 67/2022; temas de actualidad capital que inciden en la estimulación del uso de buenas prácticas en los productores de huertos, patios y parcelas, perspectiva que direccionó el objetivo de este trabajo, centrado en el análisis de dicha Ley a partir de valoraciones teórico metodológicas que implican las bondades de la agroecología a ese fin, y su implementación en el Municipio Abreus, luego, fue posible llegar a conclusiones, avaladas en el análisis de documentos y criterios emanados de espacios de debates científicos; aflorando una idea convergente en la utilización de la agroecología para consolidar la agricultura próspera y sostenible necesaria y adaptada a las condiciones socioeconómicas actuales; en ello tiene un papel esencial el Programa de la Agricultura Urbana, Suburbana y Familiar, en aras de satisfacer las demandas crecientes de la población, sin embargo, se reconoce que persisten debilidades afectándose sus resultados, los cuales pueden ser modificados a partir de la implementación de la Ley y el Reglamento de Soberanía Alimentaria y Seguridad Alimentaria y Nutricional, aprovechándose la agroecología en patios, parcelas y huertos familiares, como una alternativa viable, que permite la identificación de recursos locales disponibles a favor de la producción de alimentos.

El derecho a la alimentación es un derecho humano fundamental reconocido en la Declaración Universal de Derechos Humanos y en la Constitución Nacional de Argentina. Sin embargo, la malnutrición sigue siendo un problema en la población infantil, manifestándose en forma de exceso de peso y relacionándose con el consumo de alimentos ultra procesados. La lactancia humana es el primer sistema alimentario y su pérdida a expensas de fórmulas infantiles contribuye a grandes pérdidas económicas y daño ambiental, además del perjuicio para la salud y economía familiar. El Código Internacional de Comercialización de Sucedáneos de la Leche Materna brinda reglas para promover, proteger y apoyar la lactancia humana, pero las políticas de comercialización abusivas de la industria se han mantenido. Es necesario que los gobiernos y la sociedad civil trabajen juntos para garantizar el derecho a la alimentación adecuada y promover la lactancia materna. Además, la industrialización y globalización de la industria alimentaria han llevado a la degradación ambiental y problemas de salud, incluyendo obesidad y enfermedades crónicas. La clasificación NOVA de alimentos categoriza los alimentos ultra procesados como los menos saludables. Es necesario un cambio en el sistema alimentario hacia la sostenibilidad y la importancia de abordar los determinantes comerciales de la salud. En este sentido, se han implementado políticas para limitar la comercialización y el consumo de alimentos poco saludables, incluyendo impuestos sobre bebidas azucaradas y etiquetado frontal de los envases. Sin embargo, existen desafíos en la implementación de estas políticas debido a la autoridad regulatoria fragmentada y los intereses políticos y económicos. Se necesita un nuevo sistema alimentario para garantizar el derecho a una alimentación adecuada y promover la salud y el bienestar de la población.

Resumen La lucha por la defensa de sus derechos y territorialidad ha sido central en el movimiento campesino colombiano. Dentro de estas luchas se destaca la experiencia histórica del Comité de Integración del Macizo Colombiano (CIMA) en el sur de Colombia. El presente artículo se fundamenta en una investigación cualitativa, descriptiva y empírica. Tiene como objetivo describir, discutir y analizar críticamente la propuesta de territorialidad campesina y Soberanía Alimentaria en el Norte de Nariño y Sur de Cauca - Colombia, a partir de la iniciativa de Territorio Campesino Agroalimentario (TECAM), que representa una alternativa de construcción social del territorio y de resignificación política, económica, cultural y ecológica del movimiento campesino en el Macizo Colombiano, en un contexto de conflictividad socio territorial agudizado por la imposición del modelo neoliberal extractivista con consecuencias sobre el territorio y el modo de vida campesino.

This paper investigates the positionings and discursive struggles between the key political actors around the expropriation project of Vicentin conglomerate, during the government of Alberto Fernández. As a result of the research work, we found an intense hegemonic struggle around the project. On the one hand, we found a package of discourses that expressed itself in favor of the measure and was condensed in the defense of food sovereignty, the rescue of a strategic company to control prices in the domestic market, regulate the foreign exchange and avoid abrupt devaluations, preserve jobs and guarantee payment to their creditors. In addition, it affirmed that it was an exceptional measure, stressed that Vicentin was bankrupt and accused of fraudulent maneuvers. On the other, we found a discursive package contrary to the project, which invoked as arguments the unconstitutionality of the measure and its negative effects on legal certainty and confidence necessary to attract investment. In addition, it maintained that all Argentines were going to take over the debt of a private company, classified the defense of food sovereignty as an 'excuse' or considered that Argentina was on the way to a 'chavista' model. Finally, we address the hegemonic impact at the institutional and social level, which generated social protests and a judicialization of politics and ended in the blocking of the project.

Objective: based on the six pillars of food sovereignty proposed in the Nyéléni Declaration, 2007, the scope and limitations of the Sembrando Vida program in the peasant economy of the San Miguel Talea de Castro municipality, Oaxaca, are analyzed. Methodology: qualitative-ethnographic case study that highlights the perspective of the "actor". Data collection was carried out through participant observation and interview techniques. The data were classified and processed with Tams Analyzer qualitative analysis software. Results: the most significant scope of the Sembrando Vida program lies in the strengthening of peasant production of agroecological foods. The limitation refers to an aspect of the policy design that ignores the lack of young labor force of peasant families, which constitutes an obstacle to cultivating the requested hectares and discourages registration. Limitations: the CAC Amigos del Campo located in the town of Santa Gertrudis did not allow the recording of an interview. Conclusions: Sembrando Vida meets its objectives by strengthening the livelihoods of peasant economies. However, it is necessary to modify the criteria for incorporation into the program to make it more inclusive and strengthen the operationalization of marketing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: Analyze the variables of supply, demand, consumption, imports, and exports of yellow corn in Mexico. Methodology: Review of scientific articles published in different areas. Results: In the period 2012-2013 Mexico imported 5,076 tons of yellow maize and in the period 2021-2022, 16,290 tons, in a decade increased 320% imports, while consumption of the livestock industry in the same period 2012-2013 required 5,026 tons and for the year 2021-2022 it needed 15,584 tons, in a decade increased 310% its demand. Imports have increased due to the requirements of yellow maize for this sector. Limitations: This project did not cover the price, it is recommended in a future research work on yellow maize to consider the national price of production and marketing, as well as the import price. Conclusions: Mexico needs to be self-sufficient in the production of yellow corn,. it is necessary to generate agricultural policies to strengthen national production, carrying out an analysis by regions within the Mexican Republic, attending to their needs that may be similar or different, this will represent an axis in the security and food sovereignty of Mexico with respect to yellow corn.

Agroecology is a term that has an epistemic or emancipatory power, insofar as it is capable of creating new knowledge and alternative views to the vision imposed by the capital of the world and nature. The four experiences that will be analyzed in this article, are located in some way in what is called the agroecological transition processes. Although, in principle, this term is strongly associated with the development of agricultural practices and focuses on productive, ecological and technological elements that may be useful to advance in the agroecological transition processes, it is necessary to expand the dimensions to other levels related to the daily life of the actors who carry out these practices. Precisely the present work seeks to contribute elements to understand the forms that agroecological transitions can assume, based on four ongoing experiences that are located in the province of Santiago del Estero, Argentina. As a final contribution, the main dimensions that are transversal to them and are of great importance for accompanying transition processes and the subsequent design of social, economic, ecological and/or technical alternatives are identified.

The food security doctrine was adopted by the Russian Federation in 2010. Developed under the leadership of President Dmitry Medvedev, it established food security as a central component of national security. The concept emerged as an issue of global public debate in response to the 2006–2008 hunger crisis in the Global South. In Russia though, the initial interpretation of the concept, which emphasised the accessibility of food resources, was transformed into a slogan advocating domestic agri-food production. The article examines the Russian case from 2014 to 2022. It analyses how the narrative on food security constructs common goods such as 'domestic territory' or 'food sovereignty' and its subsequent implications for the prioritisation of certain values (e.g. production, sovereignty), social groups (e.g. producers over consumers), and roles in economic life (e.g. trade). Finally, this article will incorporate an updated analysis of official discourses on food security produced by the government following the invasion of Ukraine in 2022. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objetivo: analizar las prácticas de autoconsumo como contribución a la soberanía alimentaria de la población jornalera agrícola asentada en Miguel Alemán, Sonora, México. Metodología: con enfoque etnográfico, entre agosto y noviembre de 2021 y entre febrero y marzo de 2022, se realizaron 23 entrevistas semiestructuradas y observaciones en una colonia de una comunidad habitada por migrantes asentados que está en proceso de urbanización. Resultados: la práctica del autoconsumo posibilita tener alimentos frescos y apropiados en términos culturales. Además, resignifica la identidad de los pueblos originarios y campesinos asentados en comunidades agroindustriales. Valor: la aportación consiste en visibilizar la práctica emancipadora del autoconsumo frente al modelo de consumo predominante. Limitaciones: no se incluyeron en el estudio los migrantes que se movilizan entre temporadas y que no tienen terrenos para cultivar. Conclusiones: el autoconsumo es una estrategia de resistencia que fomenta la soberanía alimentaria de la población.

In this paper we seek to describe a series of short food marketing circuits with local markets in the district of Quilmes (Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina), particularly those that incorporate consumption nodes. Our aim is to identify, characterise and analyse the functioning of these experiences within the framework of the Social, Solidarity and Popular Economy. To this end, we first describe the methodology employed - which is mainly based on certain ontological, epistemological and methodological assumptions of the interpretative paradigm - as well as the spatio-temporal context of the research. Then, resorting to the notion of geographical space and network, we describe the main characteristics of these circuits involving the distribution of food of agricultural origin. Subsequently, we carry out a more detailed analysis of some of the dimensions involved in local markets organised around consumption nodes. Finally, we offer some reflections by way of conclusions.

La acción cooperativa ha significado uno de los pilares necesarios para la consecución de los planteamientos de la Agenda 2030 y de los ODS. La experiencia de la cooperativa agroecológica La Camperola, localizada en las comarcas del sur de Alicante, muestra un impulso de los valores cooperativos y de estrategias vinculadas a plantear nuevas pautas de producción distribución consumo en el ámbito de agroalimentación, sobre todo en espacios rurales y periurbanos. Desde sus orígenes, hace casi una década, hasta las nuevas estrategias de resiliencia en el contexto de pandemia sanitaria, se evoca la necesidad de contribuir con nuevos parámetros de emprendimiento colectivo y de diversificación económica que posibilite, al menos, el sustento de una actividad agraria alternativa a la gran distribución agroalimentaria monopolizada. Por ende, se analizan sus repercusiones socioterritoriales, económicas y ambientales, fundamentadas en un proyecto cooperativo vinculado a la red de economía social y solidaria, la soberanía alimentaria, la agroecología, el consumo político responsable, y la educación transformadora, entre otras. Sin embargo, los cambios son constantes y las exigencias de un emprendimiento social no convencional generan importantes contradicciones que cabe constatar.

Este artículo presenta las reflexiones a partir del proceso de gestión de la pesca artesanal en los humedales de Tarapoto, ubicados en Puerto Nariño, Amazonas. Se resalta el importante rol que cumple la pesca artesanal en la soberanía y la seguridad alimentaria de los pueblos indígenas que habitan el Resguardo Tikuna, Cocama, Yagua del municipio de Puerto Nariño, y se reconoce que el proceso de gestión pesquera que han liderado las comunidades al interior del Resguardo por treinta años, más que un proceso de manejo ambiental de recursos pesqueros, constituye un proceso de lucha y resistencia social colectiva por mejorar la gobernabilidad de su territorio, así como por mantener vivos los conocimientos y tradiciones asociados a la pesca artesanal como elemento de identidad de estos pueblos ribereños.

Este artículo tiene como su objetivo principal indagar las relaciones entre interseccionalidad y las prácticas políticas y laborales de las trabajadoras de la economía popular de Rawson, San Juan (Argentina). Para esto, nos valimos del concepto de la interseccionalidad y como metodología la observación participante para ver los retos diarios con los que se enfrentan las trabajadoras en la aplicación práctica de la economía popular. En este sentido, como resultado, nos encontramos con múltiples procesos colectivos y un creciente empoderamiento femenino en las experiencias desarrolladas desde las cooperativas de mujeres de Rawson (San Juan-Argentina). La originalidad de este artículo se encuentra en la legitimación epistémica de estas prácticas que devienen desde Abya Yala, que nos permitieron colaborar con el entendimiento desde la teoría de la deconstrucción que modificaba las relaciones estructurales de dominación del contexto cercano de estas mujeres cooperativistas.

Alternative Food Networks (AFN) emerged globally as competing movements and interconnections between alternative and small-scale food initiatives which counterpose the industrialized, globalized and mass consumption agri-food system. In Mexico, given the seriousness of the consequences that the industrial food system entails for people in the country, several alternative food initiatives have emerged that work in networks to promote local production systems and promote a transformation of this system from below. In the southern zone of the state of Querétaro, and specifically in the municipality of Amealco and its three main delegations, we analyze from a quantitative and qualitative methodology, what is the genetic richness of these indigenous communities in terms of edible plants and local crops and what role local production systems have, as well as the initiatives that integrate the AFN, in the construction of food sovereignty. For this purpose, we analyzed what local actors understand about food sovereignty from a territorial and cultural perspective, who are the actors that make up the AFN at the territorial level, how they interrelate and what are the requirements and challenges to consider walking towards food sovereignty.

The Marcha das Margaridas is a coalition of women and feminism movements, agrarian movements, trade unions, and international organizations that emerged in 2000. Women's organizations that are part of a rural trade federation lead the process. While its initial agenda included gendered class-based demands for the recognition of women's work in food production, access to land titles and labour rights, the Marcha das Margaridas progressively incorporated other topics, such as agroecology and food sovereignty. The article addresses three questions: How did food sovereignty enter their agenda? What is the meaning of food sovereignty for them? How can food sovereignty be understood from a (popular) feminist perspective? Based on an analysis of the political documents, we identified five main themes in the discourse of the Marcha das Margaridas on food sovereignty: 1) food as a right and a common; 2) state support for women's food production; 3) the value of uncommodified food work; 4) environmental recovery through agroecology; 5) violence-free food, produced through respectful social relations.

Objective: Generate a compendium of theoretical information on food safety and its importance in production of food for self-consumption in the Guerrero Central and Mountain region in Mexico. Methodology: This document presents a comprehensive and systematic review of traditional food and its relationship with sovereignty and food safety, taking the Center and Mountains of Guerrero as the study region. Results: in first instance, a socioeconomic vision of the region is given to understand the reality of rural populations with a high degree of marginalization. Subsequently, the concepts of food sovereignty and the safety of artisanal foods that are distinctive feature and that integrates the culture of the analyzed populations. Finally, the barriers to achieve this food sovereignty in the study region are discussed. Limitations: Only one study area is covered from many others that are currently in a state of marginalization. In addition, it is an investigation of theoretical scope that aims to reflect on the issue of sovereignty and food safety and the factors around it. Conclusions: The research aims to contribute to the discussion of how food sovereignty and safety are related to basic food in rural populations with a high degree of marginalization, but with a deeply rooted culture.

Food sovereignty has been addressed from the normative and jurisprudence; However, it is necessary to understand its scope from the internal constitutional in the Latin American region; all this, based on the new paradigm that supposes the conjunction of the agrarian, the food and the environmental within the concept of timely and equitable access to safe food. This led to the analysis of its legal nature as a principle or as a fundamental right from public international law and Latin American Constitutional Law nurtured by sumak kawsay, contrasted with the sustainable development model. From a qualitative documentary research, it was possible to conclude that food sovereignty is defined transversally; however, the mechanisms for its observance do not have State effectiveness in regard to its necessary elements such as opportunity and safety. In Latin America, elements of the rights of peoples are incorporated from the sumak kawsay. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
