This paper has the aim to analyze the implications of the transition of ecosystem services based on urban agro ecology. It advances on the debate over the negative effects of the traditional and industrial oriented agricultural production on the ecosystem services, food systems, climate change, etc. and analyses the principles, methods, and some practices that support the transition to urban agro ecology. The method employed is the analytical of the theoretical and empirical literature review. It concludes that a transition from traditional and industrial-oriented agriculture towards more urban agro ecology is inevitable to improve the ecological and environmental services, the economic efficiency, the social equity and justice, and the environmental sustainability of cities.

RESUMEN:A lo largo del proceso de la Revolución Bolivariana, se han desarrollado en Venezuela fuertes contradicciones de clase y del sistema alimentario, que han enfrentado las fuerzas de una cultura de consumo que favorece los alimentos importados, el modelo de la revolución verde, y el uso intensivo de insumos, a otro modelo que representa la ruta hacia la soberanía alimentaria y un paradigma agroecológico emergente impulsado por los movimientos de base. Como producto del proceso revolucionario, en 2004 se fundó en la Universidad Bolivariana de Venezuela, el Programa de Formación de Grado en Agroecología (PFG) con el fin de ampliar las prácticas y conocimientos agroecológicos con base en enfoques pedagógicos alternativos. En la pasada década, más de mil graduados del PFG han ocupado espacios institucionales y proyectos productivos en áreas urbanas y rurales, contribuyendo así a la escala agroecológica vertical y horizontal, lo que muestra su papel clave en este creciente movimiento y su capacidad de crear mediadores para territorializar la agroecología e institucionalizar la política pro campesina en Venezuela. Como dato político atípico, este país es un caso Palavras-chave: agroecologia; soberania alimentar; Revolución Bolivariana; Educação; políticas públicas.
This paper has the objective to analyze the implications that the new geography framework of urban agro ecology has on urban planning. It departs from the assumption that the new geography is a theoretical framework for the for the analysis of the economic, social, political, ecological, technological, research, and science based on the interrelationships between urban agro ecology and urban planning. The methodology is based in a constructive analysis of the reviewed theoretical and empirical literature to infer a model based on the construct of the new geography. Finally, it is concluded that urban planning of local governments can formulate and implement strategies based on the new geography framework in urban agro ecology to proving incentives in new urban developments and to benefit disadvantaged communities.
