“…Nowadays, there is a presence of promising alternative vegetable food systems initiatives in Chile in line with ecological farming (Rossing et al, 2020). At times, these are supported by alternative food networks such as short circuit farmer's markets and consumer cooperatives (Blanco et al, 2017;Cid & Latta, 2015;Letelier et al, 2021;Saravia Ramos, 2020). Whereas 'Ecological Farmers Organizations' have grown in member numbers from one in 2007 (Tierra Viva) to twenty-three in 2022, distributed across Chile.…”

“…While multiple and diverse, these organizations seem to share discourses based on nature protection, farming systems resilience, farmers autonomy from mainstream food systems, food sovereignty, reinvention and revalorization of peasant identities (including diets) and rural life (Cid-Aguayo, 2011;Cid-Aguayo & Hinrichs, 2015;Cid & Latta, 2015). Being highlighted by previous authors for pursuing others forms of economy, based on solidarity rather than mainstream food systems' capitalistic and neoliberal values, which have led to power asymmetry and unfair conditions for farmers in food distribution, or contentious economic interests from the food industry in relation to public health (Blanco et al, 2017;Cid & Latta, 2015;Letelier et al, 2021;Saravia Ramos, 2020). Incorporating evidence-based ecological principles (e.g., diversification) would help farmers to maintain biodiversity, boost ecosystem services, decrease reliance on external inputs, foster climate resilience and mitigate climate change, without reducing yields (Muñoz-Saez & Renwick, 2022).…”

Si éxitosa, quiénes lean esta tesis debiesen comprender que uno de sus mensajes es que ningún actor por si sólo puede realizar acciones que puedan transformar los sistemas alimentarios. Obviamente, esta tesis no es la excepción. Por eso, debo agradecer a las múltiples personas que hicieron este trabajo posible.Primero y sobretodo, quiero decir sobretodo, agradezco a mis supervisores Jessica Duncan, Katharine Legun y Laurens Klerkx. Gracias por su apoyo constante e incondicional, alentarme en los momentos más difíciles y de mayor desmotivación (que fueron muchos), sus excelentes contribuciones e ideas que aportaron al desarrollo y la calidad de esta tesis. También, por su supervisión profundamente humana. No pude haber sido más afortunada con un equipo de supervisión excepcional.Segundo, estoy en deuda con todas las personas y organizaciones que aportaron con una entrevista. Muy especialmente, gracias el CET BioBio por recibirme y alimentarme en su centro demostrativo en Yumbel y compartir su valiosa experiencia conmigo. También, por presentarme a unas de las guardadoras de semillas más inspiradoras que he conocido:

Territoriality, environment and hybrid governance tensions in alternative food networks: Cases of small‐scale viticulture in Chile

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Viticulture and wine making are a key part of the socio‐ecological landscape of central and south‐central Chile. The sector is comprised of both dominant export‐oriented companies (oriented to monoculture and agribusiness) and traditional small‐scale production (more‐or‐less locally embedded and community oriented). Since the 1990s, different small‐scale viticulture organizations emerged to deal with different challenges imposed by globalisation in a neoliberal institutional setting which favours extractive forms of productions (environmental resource intensive). In this article, we use the Alternative Food Network (AFN) theoretical framework and hybrid governance approach to analyse the governance tensions in five small‐scale viticulture organisations from Marga‐Marga, Lontué and Itata valleys. Using interviews and social cartography as methods, the study shows how the territorial strategies of AFNs shape governance tensions on three dimensions: geographic space, environmental resources and human relations. Finally, the article proposes a conceptual framework to understand the relationship between scalar dynamics and the socio‐environmental core values, strategic objectives and societal missions of AFNs.

Espaços ambíguos e a inovação neoliberal contemporânea: o caso do Merkén

Considerando a exploração dos efeitos materiais de exercícios do poder relacionados à inovação agroalimentar, abordamos a emergência de espaços de ambiguidade sócio material, surgidos da exploração do potencial econômico da agregação de valor a alimentos territoriais. A ilustração empírica vem do caso do Merkén, que é uma combinação de pimentas defumadas e moídas, cuja origem é atribuída ao povo Mapuche, no Chile. O reconhecimento das potencialidades do alto valor gastronómico deste condimento o transforma em uma inovação comercial, fazendo surgir tensões entre as formas de produção industrial, semi-industrial e a artesanal. A última, baseada em receitas singulares desenvolvidas por famílias camponesas, provém da relação biocultural entre os atores sociais e o ají-merkén, destacando-se o conhecimento dos ecotipos de pimenta, seu cultivo e do detalhado processo de defumação, além de relações consolidadas em mercados regionais. Identifica-se que, inovar para além do ‘comercial’, tem a ver com desafio de superar normas padronizadas, que tendem a provocar perda da integridade que identifica o produto com seu território. O artigo, então, mostra que a materialidade envolvida na inovação tem a capacidade de transformar relações de poder e a autoridade que constituem produtos territoriais; e que os espaços de inovação têm natureza ambígua, oscilando entre as vantagens que o mercado oferece e uma multiplicidade de reconfigurações da materialidade e da organização social situada.
