2020, Cybergéo - European Journal of Geography

For several decades, the "modernization" of the agricultural sector in the Andean region has promoted the development of the agro-industrial model and the spread of polluting agricultural practices. However, at the same time, farmers and the urban population are increasingly mobilizing for a healthy, diversified and affordable diet. In this context, projects of short supply chains of "organic" or agro-ecological products have emerged in recent years. The purpose of this article is to analyze the implementation of these short supply chains and to evaluate to what extent they contribute to the transition of the Andean territories, promoting the development of innovative and sustainable agricultural practices and enabling new forms of solidarity between farmers, on the one hand, and between farmers and consumers, on the other. For this, the text proposes a comparative analysis of several researches conducted on the rural-urban relations in the Peruvian and Ecuadorian Andes during which interviews and surveys were conducted with a wide variety of actors.
