Resumo:This study examines the experience of two short food supply chains in the cities Viçosa, Minas Gerais, in Brazil and Córdoba, in Spain. It seeks to compare and comprehend the histories, forms of organization, characteristics, differences, and similarities, as well as the main lessons these experiences may bring to local development. The theme is linked to studies on contemporary food systems and the construction of food relocation alternatives in different social and economic contexts. The implemented methodology takes a qualitive approach, through the bibliographic research of collected information and data, participatory observation and reviewing informative materials. The survey was carried out from 2018 to 2019, and the collected data were analyzed in five phases: 1) compilation of the database; 2) data decomposition; 3) data recomposition; 4) data interpretation and; 5) conclusion. The results highlight the participation and cooperation of distinct actors in the process of building short channel distribution venues that go beyond the trading of foods and produce, invigorating proximity markets by setting new standards of quality and trust between producers and consumers. In addition, the experiences contribute to local development processes based on local governance processes and the empowerment of endogenous forces.
