En este trabajo se analiza la contribución de los Sistemas Agroalimentarios Localizados y los Circuitos Cortos de Comercialización a la dinamización económica incluyente a partir del estudio de seis casos de activación de recursos específicos en concentraciones de Agroindustrias Rurales con enfoque Sial, en territorios rurales de América Latina y el Caribe. Los casos se analizan a partir de una serie de criterios basados en la proximidad y en la activación de recursos específicos de cada uno de los territorios. Con base al estudio se propone una definición sobre dinamización económica incluyente. El análisis resalta la comercialización como un punto crítico en los territorios rurales y la importancia de los procesos de activación para propiciar la dinamización económica incluyente. Se concluye que los procesos de activación territorial, articulados a la conformación de canastas territoriales de bienes y servicios, y la promoción de Circuitos Cortos de Comercialización son pilares importantes en la dinamización económica incluyente de los territorios rurales.
The Forest and Milpa Landscape (FML) is a territory comprising 64 municipalities in the Yucatan Peninsula where the rainforest and the milpa system coexist. The ecosystems that predominate in the FML are sub-deciduous and subtropical evergreen forests, which represent an essential carbon reservoir worldwide. The use of natural resources for food security of FML families is associated with the milpa, which is a system that depends on the rainfall and the soil’s ability to retain water. Within the framework of the 2020–2030 Country Strategy of the GEF Small Grants Programme (SGP), 20 indicators associated with the FML’s resilience were evaluated through a participatory approach. The methodological route consisted of adapting the Toolkit for the Indicators of Resilience in Socio-ecological Production Landscapes and Seascapes (SEPLS). A topic that generated much concern among participants was human health. The reflection generated around this indicator recognised problems associated with water contamination by agrochemicals and changes in diet, resulting in recurrent diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity. The solutions proposed by the small producers are linked to the sustainable management of ecosystems and education on values towards traditional and agroecological food production.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
