“…With regard to seed conservation in the region, there is no training available for the rural population by the local entities, resulting in the use of commercial and transgenic seeds and the poor preservation of the cultural and historical value of native seeds [48], as seen in the shortage of traditional regional food crops. The scenario is worsened by the preference of food consumers for betterlooking foods produced from genetically modified seeds [49].…”

The Valle de Tenza region, located in the Department of Boyacá—Colombia, shows a transition situation from the family farming of various food crops to coffee farming following an agribusiness model. From this perspective, in order to understand the current scenario of food sovereignty in Guateque and Guayatá, two cities of the Valle de Tenza, this study evaluated socioeconomic, environmental, and cultural aspects based on questionnaires and semi-structured interviews applied to peasant families that practice family farming and/or coffee farming. Moreover, these same aspects were also evaluated among urban food consumers. These evaluations aimed to assess the perception of the interviewees about the availability of regional food crops and current eating habits in relation to those from a decade or more ago, in addition to investigating their knowledge about the traditional cuisine of the region. The cultivation of regional food crops used to prepare local and regional traditional dishes such as piquete, sancocho, and different amasijos based on corn and sagú (Maranta arundinacea) has been significantly reduced. The investigation revealed changes in the eating habits of the Valle de Tenza inhabitants due to the consumption of processed foods and the reduced cultivation of local traditional food crops. As a consequence of this transition to coffee production, the most representative traditional foods are being replaced by more profitable crops, including coffee and some fruits not traditionally grown in the Valle de Tenza and with more local and regional acceptance. This reduction can affect food availability and change the gastronomic and cultural identity of the Valle de Tenza population, among other aspects related to food sovereignty.

“…Aparte de que ofrecen insumos agrícolas, son fuente de asesoría agropecuaria. La importancia de estos centros privados se explica parcialmente por el limitado alcance de los servicios de asesoría pública (Ayala Durán & Waquil, 2019). Pese al positivo papel de los agroservicios en la cultura del maíz en Ciudad Arce, comportan un obstáculo asociado a su funcionamiento: la ausencia de una industria fabricante de plaguicidas.…”

Ante la escasez de estudios socioagrarios municipales en El Salvador, el presente artículo tiene como objetivo identificar y analizar la cadena de valor del maíz blanco en el municipio de Ciudad Arce. Para ello, se utiliza como herramienta teórica el mapa de mercado, resaltando el entorno promotor, los actores de la cadena y los proveedores de servicios. Así, en este texto se evidencian tendencias diferentes a las presentadas en la cadena de valor a nivel nacional. Adicionalmente, se destaca un nutrido número de actores y prácticas de cooperación multinivel. Se finaliza identificando dos líneas de investigación poco exploradas y relacionadas con las cadenas de valor.
