The experiences in this issue of Revista Agriculturas (Relocating the agri-food systems) are part of a ‘third path’ in family farming, taken by local organisations in response to the globalization of agriculture.
The practical experiences in this issue are examples of initiatives that differ from the format of production, distribution and marketing of food that has become dominant in recent decades. They seek to reduce the distance between production and consumption of food.
Among other topics, articles cover value addition through family agroindustry, the method combining ecological fairs with other types of marketing, the role of farmers’ organizations in localizing food systems, and the supply chain of regional artisanal fisheries.
