Antonio Ortega Santos (University of Granada Spain)

Send message to Author

Paper short abstract:

In this paper we propose a general reflection on the processes of agroecological production not only in its productive dimension of food sovereignty but also in its character of political process that creates communities of life and knowledge.

Paper long abstract:

We propose a global vision on the agroecological processes oriented towards three central objectives that we can frame within what is identified with the so-called process of bioregional socio-political construction in which the Epistemologies of the South can play an important role to build knowledge from below. We take as a strategy the identification with digital tools of all the participatory work projects that identify the elements from which to build healthy food and cooking.

To this end, we propose as results to share with the participants.

a. Design of a digital tool for the identification of "revolutionary" processes when building communities and local, healthy production and consumption.

b. Presentation of emerging projects in the field of building food commons both in Europe, Africa and America.

c. To this end, we propose the debate on the construction of Political Agroecologies that generate processes of construction of participatory local democracies that are born from the sustainable production of food and knowledge linked to the kitchen and situated knowledge.

d. Design of a methodology for the construction of a citizenship committed to food as a communitarian social process, fracturing market logics and betting on "new communalities", in order to transfer these socio-political forms to the field of public policy.

e. Energy Transitions of Agrifood Systems.

f. Sustainable management of Agroecosystems in Chile, Mexico and Peru: knowledge of quelites and camelids.

g. Agro-vislvopastoral systems in the Amazon. Experiments from the point of view of food security.

h. Do we devour the Oceans? Marine extractivism and relocation of artisanal fishery production.
