La soberanía alimentaria como indicador de la transformación integral de los sistemas agroalimentarios

The main objective of this work is to develop a model for evaluating the transformations of agri-food systems based on the concept of “food sovereignty”. Analytical models based exclusively on productivist criteria have shown interpretive limitations in the study of complex social systems and their transformations. In this context, the appearance of evaluation models that use a multidimensional perspective is presented as necessary. This multidimensional vision of agri-food systems makes the concept of “food sovereignty” a potential evaluating tool. In this work we identify the values and principles associated with the concept of “food sovereignty”, from which we define a set of evaluable and comparable attributes in space and time. On these attributes we base the development of an evaluation model that allows us to evaluate the transformations of agri-food systems from a historical and holistic perspective.
