“…Cuando no hay una manera de saber que domine a otra se puede construir colectivamente a partir de experiencias históricas, saberes y cosmovisiones diversas (McCune et al, 2017). Un diálogo abierto, espíritu crítico y diálogo profundo (Najmanovich, 2008) son mecanismos que acercan, mueven y conmueven que tienen mayor posibilidad de crear conciencia para transformar socialmente; no solo resistir, ni reponerse de los embates del cambio climático.…”

“…When there is not a way of knowledge that dominates another, it can be built collectively from historical experiences, understandings and diverse worldviews (McCune et al, 2017). An open dialogue, critical spirit and deep dialogue (Najmanovich, 2008) are mechanisms that approach, move and are moved, which have a greater possibility of raising awareness to transform socially; not just resisting or recovering from the battering from climate change.…”

El cambio climático afecta directamente al sistema alimentario, reduciendo la disponibilidad de alimentos e incrementando la desigualdad del acceso a sectores desfavorecidos de la población. La resiliencia es la habilidad del sistema para absorber perturbaciones o la rapidez para recobrarse de disturbios climáticos y en una aplicación del término se crea la resiliencia social como la habilidad de las comunidades para mantener la estructura social ante shocks externos. El objetivo es analizar diferentes enfoques de este concepto en doce publicaciones que revisan casos en relación con eventos extremos causados por el cambio climático y cuál es el papel de las organizaciones campesinas e indígenas en estas. Como resultado se encontró que la mitad de trabajos buscan en cuanto a las organizaciones, su análisis, el diálogo horizontal, que sean actores y que sean los autores, mientras los restantes pretenden instruir y siguen el discurso cientificista y vertical de posesión del conocimiento. En conclusión, menciona que se está en una etapa de visibilización de las posturas que provienen de organizaciones indígenas y campesinas como sujetos. La importancia de este momento histórico es la posibilidad de tomar acciones reales de mitigación del cambio climático por estos sujetos que se escuchan y en conjunto toman espacios antes negados.

“…In the fight against depopulation and the promotion of new development strategies in rural areas, agroecology plays an important role. It is defined as a new field of knowledge that integrates the knowledge and experiences of traditional agriculture, coupled with a strong ethical component, in order to place food at the center of the life of communities as an identity factor [29].…”

A food tradition not only corresponds to the vital need to be nourished every day, but is part of the particularity of a territory as a consequence of its history, traditions, natural heritage, and capacity for ecological and social resilience. In the search for culinary identity, a valorization of a rural territory of high identity potential is carried out, such as in the environmental protection area “Sierra Grande de Hornachos” (Extremadura, Spain), and specifically the town of Hornachos. For this purpose, a series of workshops and interviews were held for men and women who had lived most of their lives in Hornachos and who were older than 70. Information on the food uses of wild and cultivated plants, as determined by the Cultural Significance Index (CSI) for 79 species, was extracted from the interpretation of the data collected. In addition, new uses were collected in Extremadura for 16 plants and in Spain for 3, with some of these data being of particular significance in the culinary culture of Hornachega. We conclude that the area “Sierra Grande de Hornachos” forms an environment of great culinary identity that must be preserved, not only for its heritage interests but also for its agroecological ones, which could be translated into measures of wealth creation and development.

“…For example, in many places, cash cropping driven by multinational corporations has replaced subsistence production, leading to food insecurity and ecological degradation. Organizations such as La Via Campesina [4] are working to restore subsistence production to ensure local food grown sustainably for the long-term health of local communities. A sustainable food system includes both short and circular supply chains to enable access to food, as well as food waste reduction.…”

This year, at the ACM CHI Conference, we gathered as a group of HCI researchers, designers, and practitioners, to reflect on our role in designing sustainable food systems [6]. Designing sustainable food systems is a challenge that involves all parts and actors of the food system [5], including: 1) production and agriculture, 2) processing and manufacturing, 3) wholesale and logistics, 4) retail and food services, 5) purchasing and consumption and 6) waste management. Fifteen participants represented and discussed ongoing investigations into designing technologies for food and sustainability [1]. We reconsidered the role of waste, the potential for food to be used as medicine, the repercussions of antibiotic resistance, the pervasiveness of poverty, and the tensions between local and global systems. The workshop culminated in a design session focused on techniques and paradigms for future components of a sustainable food system. Designing sustainable food systems, including the socio-technical systems that work towards that ideal, is key to producing stable climates, societies, and economies. The ongoing and future changes in climate, food security, and socioeconomic issues are further complicated by a tenuous geopolitical context. Given this reality, it is imperative that we are deliberate in our design of food system components and supporting technologies so that we can better contribute to the sustainability of our food system.
