Principles for Designing Agroecology-based Local (territorial) Agri-food Systems: A Critical Revision

Alternative food systems and networks, which have emerged around the world, provide a strong basis for ecological transition and the fight against climate emergencies. These experiences are often fragmentary, reduced in size and frequently unfold in parallel, hardly linked to each other. Agroecology...

These experiences are often fragmentary, reduced in size and frequently unfold in parallel, hardly linked to each other. Agroecology faces the challenge of scaling up these initiatives to gain size and bring about a significant impact on food production and consumption, ultimately establishing an alternative regime. Within the agroecological movement, however, diverse conceptions exist of what a sustainable food system should be.

In so doing, we highlighted the aspects that one could consider as purely agroecological in nature and sought to bring them together to form a coherent proposal.

description Alternative food systems and networks, which have emerged around the world, provide a strong basis for ecological transition and the fight against climate emergencies. These experiences are often fragmentary, reduced in size and frequently unfold in parallel, hardly linked to each other. Agroecology faces the challenge of scaling up these initiatives to gain size and bring about a significant impact on food production and consumption, ultimately establishing an alternative regime. Within the agroecological movement, however, diverse conceptions exist of what a sustainable food system should be. It is thus necessary to reach an extensive consensus, from the perspective of agroecology, on the principles guiding the construction of this system. This paper discusses the principles that would best steer the building of Agroecology-based Local Agri-food Systems (ALAS). To this end, a critical review of the scientific literature on alternative food networks and systems was performed.
