“…La intervención impulsada por la comunidad puede contribuir a reducir la desigualdad en las comunidades desfavorecidas; es necesario abordar un problema 'perverso' como los desiertos alimentarios; permitir a los investigadores involucrarse con las comunidades, comprender la situación problemática y guiar los esfuerzos de intervención de manera sostenible y sistémica (Wang et al, 2018). Iniciativas de seguridad de la tenencia de la tierra, seguridad alimentaria y desarrollo rural a nivel nacional (Asiama et al, 2021).…”

Objetivo: contribuir en la búsqueda de elementos que ayuden a consolidar sistemas alimentarios sostenibles. Metodología: revisión sistemática basada en metasíntesis, se exploró en siete bases de datos y se obtuvieron 237 resultados de los cuales, debido a criterios de inclusión y exclusión, se seleccionaron 133 artículos científicos. Resultados: se encontró que nueve artículos abordan dicho problema manteniendo los sistemas alimentarios industrializados, pero haciendo mejoras técnicas (tecnológicas) o haciendo más eficientes las cadenas de producción y suministros. Mientras que cuatro artículos lo abordan desde la reducción en las distancias que recorren los alimentos, pero enfocada en una producción rural; cinco investigaciones desde lo local; tres desde lo periurbano y uno en lo regional. El mayor número de investigaciones (73) sugiere un sistema alimentario basado en un tipo de producción urbana; sin mencionar que hay sistemas que pueden ser considerados híbridos (16). Además de emplear algún tipo de nexo entre distintos elementos. Limitaciones: La revisión sistemática se limita al material contenido en las bases de datos seleccionadas y en la fecha establecida para la búsqueda. Conclusiones: se concluye que las características de los sistemas alimentarios sostenibles varían en función del contexto de las ciudades, lo que no impide el aprendizaje entre experiencias similares.

“…It has been shown that larger farm sizes resulting from land consolidation promote the proper use of arable land. Due to the rearrangement of agricultural land to promote changes in farm-level economies of scale, land consolidation has been emphasized as a standard tool for increasing land-use effectiveness, upgrading rural infrastructure, and motivating agricultural mechanization (Asiama et al 2020;Sklenicka 2006;Vitikainen 2014). It has contributed to improving agricultural productivity and the release of rural labor into non-agricultural activities (Nguyen and Warr 2020;Riddell and Rembold 2000;Van den Berg et al 2007).…”

“…At the same time, special measures are often required to carry out land consolidation, including ensuring mutual consent between the government and landowners (Cay et al 2010). Moreover, land consolidation can be implemented using a variety of methods, depending on the historical trends, culture, traditions, and political institutions of a given country (Asiama et al 2020;Hartvigsen 2015;Vitikainen 2014).…”

This study aims to analyze the results of Vietnam's land consolidation program of 2006 and to explore why it remains incomplete through a case study of Binh Dao Commune, a typical coastal plain commune in the country's central region. Using a geographic information system, combined with secondary data and in-depth interviews with stakeholders, we created digital maps of the spatial structure of farmland parcels and rural infrastructure before and after the land consolidation program to determine the changes therein. In parallel, a clearer picture of the land consolidation program's implementation mechanism is presented. The findings show that the land consolidation program in Binh Dao Commune contributed to a decrease in the average number of plots per household from 7.9 to 4.2; however, the change in the average farm size was not significant, with a mean increase of only 16.4 m 2 per household, from 2,071.2 m 2 to 2,087.6 m 2 . The agricultural road and irrigation systems in Binh Dao Commune were also significantly improved as a by-product of land consolidation. However, the fragmented classification system of agricultural land stemming from the principle of equality redistribution by the socialist agricultural revolution led to the program's incomplete results.

“…Land consolidation has been widely applied worldwide as an effective tool to alleviate land fragmentation [11], improve agricultural production conditions [12], achieve a dynamic balance of total farmland [13], increase farmland quality and productivity [14,15], safeguard national grain safety [16], and promote rural revitalization [17,18]. Different studies in Europe, Middle Asia, and South Asia have proved that LC is able to decrease agricultural production cost by reducing land fragmentation [19][20][21]. In addition, LC has effectively improved the structure of rural land tenure systems.…”

Land consolidation (LC) is an important measure taken to increase the quantity and productivity of farmland while reducing land fragmentation and ensuring food security. However, long-term land consolidation project (LCP) practices are rarely analyzed to assess the effectiveness for achieving current policy objectives of LC in China. Taking the practices of LCPs in Jiangsu Province from 2001 to 2017 as a case study, we used the spatial self-related analysis, the consistency analysis, and the redundant analysis (RDA), and found that the construction scale and the investment amount of LC in Jiangsu Province displayed varying trends, and that the newly increased farmland rate is clearly divided into three stages and gradually decreases. The newly increased farmland area, the investment funds, and reserved land resources for farmlands are not spatially synchronized in Jiangsu Province. Only the positive relationship between the LC rate and the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) growth rate continue to rise. The earlier stage of land consolidation projects (LCPs)’s practices is mainly affected by natural and social factors, and the late stage is mainly affected by economic and strategic factors. Finally, a new implementation scheme framework of LC planning has been proposed. This framework provides reference for top-level design, planning, and management of LC policies at the national level in China and other developing countries.
