Abstract

Los territorios rurales en Colombia enfrentan retos actuales relacionados no sólo con los aspectos sociales fundamentales para la paz, sino, también con las condiciones productivas y ambientales necesarias para avanzar hacia modelos de desarrollo rural sostenibles. Objetivos como alcanzar soberanía alimentaria, luchar contra la pobreza rural, adaptar la agricultura a riesgos emergentes y mitigar el efecto del cambio climático, proteger los recursos naturales especialmente suelo, agua y agrobiodiversidad, asegurar la prestación de servicios ecosistémicos, atender a la creciente demanda de alimentos, entre otros, requieren reconfigurar los sistemas agroalimentarios. Simultáneamente, la agricultura familiar viene siendo promovida por movimientos sociales que reconocen el papel esencial que cumplen de producir alimentos y cuidar la naturaleza y exigen el reconocimiento de su rol y políticas diferenciales que les permitan reproducir dignamente sus condiciones sociales de vida. Fortalecer las distintas formas de agricultura campesina, familiar y comunitaria, requiere de nuevos paradigmas científicos y prácticos en el desarrollo rural; uno de estos es la Agroecología, reconocido como el enfoque científico que mejor reconoce el potencial de la agricultura familiar para ayudar a enfrentar los retos mencionados. La Agroecología en Colombia ha sido promovida desde la década de 1980 por ONG's y la Iglesia, y más recientemente por las universidades. La práctica agroecológica ha permitido el surgimiento de innovaciones que han logrado niveles importantes de madurez. Desde la perspectiva de la transición hacia una agricultura sustentable, estas iniciativas comunitarias, reconocidas como nichos sociotécnicos, se constituyen en espacios protegidos en los cuales se gestan y desarrollan estas innovaciones hasta lograr que se consoliden y generen cambios consistentes en las condiciones de vida de estas comunidades. El propósito de este libro es analizar algunas de estas experiencias agroecológicas desarrolladas por organizaciones de agricultores familiares en distintos lugares del país, nichos sociotécnicos, donde se generaron aprendizajes prácticos con potencial para fortalecer programas de agricultura campesina, familiar y comunitaria.

Abstract

This book examines social innovation strategies in the collaborative development of spaces for growing food in cities. It enables readers to gain valuable insights into an innovative social and spatial practice whilst advancing knowledge in an emerging area of research. The book will also be of great relevance to social activists, urban designers, planners, and decision-makers with an interest in applying this expertise to their own neighbourhoods and cities. Urban food growing spaces have multiplied in recent times. This green and inclusive urbanism creates social value for the health, wellbeing, and welfare of local inhabitants. Therefore, there is a convincing argument to investigate innovative spatial practices that can enable cities to meet the needs of an increasing population. Despite the mounting interest in collective approaches to sustainable development, limited attention has been given to the diverse ways in which this social action has been pursued. How are urban food growing spaces produced through social innovation? What are the innovative processes that can be translated in a replicable model to other cities, yet suitable for local needs, to support the development of healthier, more socially just built environments?
