Circuitos cortos de comercialización alimentaria: Análisis de experiencias de la Región de Valparaíso, Chile

Palabras claves: agroecología, reciprocidad, trabajo colaborativo y redes ABSTRACT One of the main problems of collaborative agro ecological experiences in the Valparaíso Region is the commercialization of its food products. The research design was mixed, complementing quantitative and qualitative techniques, which allowed identifying and characterizing fundamental aspects in the commercialization dynamics of the main modalities of short food commercialization circuits in the Region: digital platforms, specialized stores, fairs and consumer cooperatives. From speeches made by key informants, producers and consumers, trends are observed, such as, that agro ecological producers use different commercialization modalities, expressed in their particular combination; or the agro ecological consumers is in a germinal state, problematizing the relationship of these circuits with the State and institutionality. The common challenges, meanwhile, are strengthening the educational processes of consumers, reducing the final price gap and advancing in the consolidation of support networks and collaborative work.
