Resumen


Las consecuencias a escala local del sistema agroalimentario global, las necesidades de ejecutar saltos de escala en las experiencias de producción y comercialización agroecológicas y sus relaciones de poder intrínsecas, evidencian la oportunidad de la reflexión y el debate en torno a la construcción de sistemas y estrategias de gobernanza que faciliten prácticas sociales y organizativas sostenibles para las personas productoras y consumidoras, principalmente mediante la creación de Redes Agroalimentarias Alternativas (RAA).

En este artículo se describe una experiencia innovadora en el ámbito de la comercialización de productos agroecológicos locales que se está desarrollando en Gipuzkoa: el proyecto piloto SAREKO, un Centro de Acopio (CA) de producción agroecológica que abastece al sector de la restauración en la comarca de Donostialdea. Mediante una metodología basada en la Investigación Acción Participativa, se parte de la sistematización de procesos para ordenar la información recogida en la dinamización del proyecto y para realizar una reflexión crítica colectiva sobre el mismo.

Los resultados principales constatan que el salto de escala tiene que apoyarse en iniciativas híbridas, en las que se debe prestar atención a la comunicación y a la negociación que se establece dentro de la red y a la construcción de confianza entre los participantes. Se constata que la cooperación entre los actores y la estructura organizativa emergente se convierten en piezas clave para conformar la identidad del CA. Así, la orientación colaborativa en los espacios de decisión y la generación de procesos basados en la toma de decisiones por consenso determinan la forma de redistribuir el valor añadido a lo largo de toda la cadena alimentaria.
