Whilst farmers’ self-organization represents a core process in the development of Agroecology-based Local Agri-food Systems (ALAS), the development of collective, economic structures among agroecology-oriented farmers’ is still weak. In an attempt to understand why and how agroecology-oriented farmers are constructing their own position within ALAS, and the challenges they are facing in this sense, we conducted a qualitative study on the self-organizational processes and structures of five Agroecology-Oriented Farmers’ Groups in Spain. Based on 27 interviews and six online, participatory workshops, our results reveal different reasons for joining and setting up farmers’ groups as non-mixed collective spaces, with instrumental and social factors constituting the principal motivations. Politics and advocacy aroused controversy and were only observed in the biggest, most powerful and well-structured organizations. The main challenges identified refer to the precariousness and isolation of farmers, as well as of the different local groups. The weakness of the Agroecology-Oriented Farmers’ Groups highlights the need for further action-oriented research and accompanimentThe work was supported by the European Climate Foundation [G-2103-61796]; Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología [(PID2020-112980GB-C22) and (PID2020-112980GB-C21)]; Ministerio para la Transición Ecológica y el Reto Demográfico [Third Sector Grants, Call 2022]Peer reviewedTaylor & FrancisMinisterio de Ciencia y Tecnología (España)Ministerio para la Transición Ecológica y el Reto Demográfico (España)López García, Daniel [0000-0003-2265-880X]Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas [https://ror.org/02gfc7t72]202320232023info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501Publisher's versioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttp://hdl.handle.net/10261/330908reponame:DIGITAL.CSIC.
