“…Concurrently, PGS can contribute to build confidence at the consumption level, since it has been demonstrated that, when individuals are networked to one another, it is possible to reach a higher level of trust [144,149]. Organic products derived from PGS certified farms appear more accessible, since direct marketing commercialization methods are diffused and encouraged [150,151]. Additionally, farmers' markets generally provide a wider variety of products, demonstrating a sustainable productive system diversification and giving even more relevance to this model.…”

Food security faces many multifaceted challenges, with effects ranging far beyond the sectors of agriculture and food science and involving all the multiscale components of sustainability. This paper puts forward our point of view about more sustainable and responsible approaches to food production research underlying the importance of knowledge and social innovation in agroecological practices. Increased demand for food worldwide and the diversification of food choices would suggest the adoption of highly productive, but low-resilient and unsustainable food production models. However, new perspectives are possible. These include the revitalization and valorization of family-based traditional agriculture and the promotion of diversified farming systems as a social and economic basis to foster social-ecological conversion. Additionally, they encompass the forecasting of the Participatory Guarantee Systems (PGS) and the drafting of a new agenda for food sovereignty. Thanks to a desk analysis, the study describes and discusses these perspectives, their trajectories and action research implications. The results suggest the need to adopt a more inclusive and systemic approach to the described problems, as the solutions require the promotion of responsibility within decision makers, professionals and consumers. This appears essential for reading, analyzing and understanding the complex ecological-functional, social and economic relations that characterize farming systems, as well as mobilizing local communities.

Resumo: O potencial de inserção comercial de agricultores familiares em canais curtos de comercialização tem sido explorado por importantes estudos qualitativos. Este trabalho apresenta contribuições adicionais a esses esforços ao quantificar a participação de agricultores familiares nas feiras municipais. Verifica-se em que medida as feiras representam alternativas à inserção comercial ao proporcionar: (a) inclusão socioprodutiva dos agricultores familiares; (b) fortalecimento de canais curtos de comercialização; e (c) alternativa ao sistema agroalimentar industrial. A partir de dados quantitativos de 59 feiras, amostradas de um universo de 369 no estado de Goiás, detectou-se que 42,37% das feiras oferecem oportunidades de inclusão comercial aos agricultores familiares, 32,20% fortalecem canais curtos de comercialização e 35,59% funcionam como alternativa ao sistema agroalimentar industrial. Do total, 10,17% das feiras atendem aos três critérios supracitados concomitantemente. As regressões estatísticas revelam que: (1) quanto menor a porcentagem de atravessadores e maior a de agricultores ligados a organizações, maior é a possibilidade de a feira ter mais bancas da agricultura familiar; (2) quanto maior a relevância da feira como espaço de articulação entre agentes e para a catalisação de novos negócios entre agricultores, maior a possibilidade desse canal exercer influência na criação ou no fortalecimento de políticas públicas.

Objective: Uncover the transformative potential of agroecology in shaping sustainable food systems, with a particular focus on its pivotal role in transitioning from conventional systems to sustainable practices rooted in agroecological principles. Theoretical Framework: The current scenario presents alternatives to industrial agriculture, which prioritizes mass food production for global markets. In this context, agroecology emerges as a beacon of hope, championing short marketing circuits, fair trade, and a deep respect for local culture and the environment. The sharing of agroecological experiences, particularly in the context of family farming, offers a promising path toward agricultural systems that diverge from the traditional industrial model. Method: The systematic review used scientific articles published between 2011 and 2023, selected from the Web of Science and ScienceDirect databases. Results and Discussion: Agroecological production systems present themselves as a viable alternative to industrial agriculture, demonstrating that agroecological principles have the potential to promote healthier and more sustainable agri-food systems. Family farming plays a crucial role in this context, meeting the goals of agroecology. Research Implications: It highlights the promising role of agroecology in promoting family farming by achieving sustainable food production and supporting the demand for healthier foods. Originality/Value: This paper contributes to understanding the relationship between agroecology and agri-food systems, providing insights into agroecological practices, including sustainability in food production.
