Los procesos de producción, comercialización y, adquisición y consumo de alimentos están correlacionados con impactos benéficos o perjudiciales a nivel socioambiental. La industria agroalimentaria, desde el conocimiento de los daños socioambientales que sus prácticas productivistas y consumistas generan, permanentemente busca ampliar su alcance; ante ello, el movimiento social de la soberanía alimentaria se opone mediante acciones concretas basadas en la reciprocidad socioambiental. Objetivo: argumentar los aportes del enfoque del decrecimiento en las cadenas agroalimentarias como una contribución a los procesos de la soberanía alimentaria, a través de la integración de aportes de oferentes de un mercado alternativo local, agroecológico y de comercio justo. Metodología: es una investigación cualitativa, implementada en dos fases: 1) realización de entrevistas semiestructurada a ocho oferentes del Mercado Agroecológico de Comercio Justo Ahimsa (MACJA); en Toluca, México; de noviembre 2021 a marzo 2022; 2) desarrollo de un Ciclo de capacitación recíproca entre universidad y oferentes del MACJA, con una sesión mensual en octubre y noviembre de 2022, y enero y febrero de 2023. Resultados: los proyectos implementan en sus cadenas agroalimentarias prácticas acordes con el decrecimiento. Conclusiones: el decrecimiento representa una vía asequible para repensar, revalorar y reorientar los procesos en las cadenas agroalimentarias en aras de escalar la soberanía alimentaria.
The processes of production, marketing, acquisition and consumption of food are correlated with beneficial or harmful socio-environmental impacts. The agri-food industry, from the knowledge of the socio-environmental damage that its productivism and consumerist practices generate, permanently seeks to expand its scope; in response to this, the social movement for food sovereignty opposes it through concrete actions based on socio-environmental reciprocity. Objective: to argue the contributions of degrowth in agrifood chains as a contribution to food sovereignty, through the integration of contributions from suppliers of a local, agroecological and fair-trade alternative market. Methodology: it is qualitative research, implemented in two phases: 1) application of a semi-structured interview to eight suppliers of the Ahimsa Agroecological Fair Trade Market (AAFTM); in Toluca, Mexico; from November 2021 to March 2022; 2) development of a reciprocal training cycle between the university and suppliers of AAFTM, with a monthly session in October and November 2022, and January and February 2023. Results: the projects are implementing practices in their agrifood chains that are in line with degrowth. Conclusions: the degrowth represents an affordable way to rethink, reevaluate and reorient processes in agrifood chains in order to scale up food sovereignty.
