Agroecología y canales cortos en el contexto del COVID-19

El caso de la horticultura marplatense

Abstract

The article aims to analyze the marketing channels of producers with agroecological
bases of the General Pueyrredon District, focusing on their particularities in the context of the COV ID-19 pandemic. To respond to the objective, semi-structural interviews were carried out with the producer families (29) during the year 2020
that intend to characterize the production systems with agroecological bases from their multiple dimensions and in particular the socio-economic, organizational and commercial ones. The results achieved show the exchange not only commercial but mainly the social dimension and knowledge. However, it is a still developing sector with limitations that require comprehensive responses from multiple levels of the State, and mainly a growing number of consumers who value the product and sustain this more just form of production socially, economically and environmentally.
