“…A closed setting does not interface with the environment, and knowledge flows within a closed circuit (Andres & Bhullar, 2016). An open scenario interacts with its environment by giving and receiving information (Chaparro, 2017). As such, we would expect a socio-economic performance to improve sustainability practices.…”

The Protected Denominations of Origin in agricultural goods through recognized chains, have a fundamental economic role. In Ecuador, the pdo cocoa bean certification becomes a protagonist since it presents an opportunity to boost the social performance of smallholders. A substantial amount of research focused only on examining the crop performance of pdo products. However, there is a shift in the agricultural chain perspective towards more sustainable models. In this respect, social, economic, and institutional aspects are consequential and tribute to the agricultural sector development. Also, the current rise of market opportunities at the local and international levels is a driver to support them. This study aimed to analyze socio-economic and governance components to understand the pdo Cocoa Arriba (Theobroma cacao) chain sustainability performance and bring forward potential strategies. Principal Components Analysis was introduced to contribute with relevant insights.The framework applied accounts with a revision of primary and support activities. The investigation clustered pre-production, production, and post-production tiers. Also, it executed the food chain mapping and identification of chain actors. Results stated several viable long-term strategies. Examples of those strategies are the enhancement of national regulation to assist chain actors and the stimulus of young producers and associations empowerment. The main research contribution is the application of governance mechanisms to assess the chain performance comprehensively. Based on the results, our recommendation is to incorporate new indicators to analyze the environmental and institutional components profoundly.

“…Por ejemplo, de 12 campesinos que se dedican a las labores agrícolas, tan solo 5 usan semillas propias. El bajo acceso a este recurso fundamental, da cuenta de la gran dependencia de insumos externos a la que se enfrentan los campesinos, quienes están a la deriva en el mercado, debido a los costos variables de estos insumos (Chaparro-Africano & Calle-Collado, 2017).…”

Mercados Campesinos ha sido una estrategia de comercialización implementada en varias regiones de Colombia, buscando acercar el productor al consumidor y potenciar la participación política del campesinado. Este artículo analiza el proceso de Mercados Campesinos a través de un estudio de caso en el municipio de Sibaté (Cundinamarca, Colombia) desde la lógica de la Soberanía Alimentaria. Para tal fin se utilizó una metodología mixta con entrevistas y encuestas a campesinos, consumidores y funcionarios públicos participantes de la estrategia. Los resultados destacan que sólo dos de los principios de la Soberanía Alimentaria han sido parcialmente implementados, siendo estos el comercio alternativo de alimentos y la paz social, pues se resalta la producción de alimentos para el consumo local y la limitación en la participación de intermediarios, así como las relaciones de solidaridad y apoyo mutuo entre los actores. Sin embargo, el desarrollo de otros elementos de la Soberanía Alimentaria es aún incipiente, probablemente esto se debe al débil control democrático ejercido por sus actores y por el enfoque principalmente económico que se le otorga a la estrategia.

“…Rural poverty is an objective phenomenon in the history of human socioeconomic development (Tania, 2009;Shcherbak et al, 2020). Particularly, in developing countries, increasing urban polarization has caused rural areas to fall into a more desperate situation (Wang and Wan, 2015), leading to various problems, such as pressure on agriculture (Venables, 2018), infrastructure shortages (Onitsuka and Hoshino, 2018), and low incomes for farmers (Africano and Collado, 2017). These problems have further exacerbated rural poverty.…”

Improving livelihood capital is beneficial for implementing China’s rural revitalization strategy (RRS); however, researchers have not focused on the regional attributes of livelihood capital. Thus, this study proposes a new concept of regional livelihood capital to guide RRS implementation. A comprehensive measurement method and official government statistics were used to analyze regional livelihood capital characteristics in Diqing. The results demonstrate that, from 1993 to 2020, Diqing’s regional livelihood capital index increased steadily from 0.058 to 0.356, and its structure continued to diversify; however, its level remains low. The natural capital index fluctuated between 2.044 and 2.284 and always had absolute advantages. The financial capital index increased rapidly from 0.024 to 1.396 and is the core driving force for the growth of regional livelihood capital. The physical capital index increased steadily from 0.056 to 0.456. The growth of the social and human capital index was slow and weak, with an average annual growth rate of only 4.42% and 1.07%, respectively, which represents a weakness in regional livelihood capital. Based on regional livelihood capital characteristics and Diqing’s economic circumstances, a targeted rural revitalization model was developed according to the dynamics of the organic system of regional livelihood capital, in which natural capital is considered the foundation, financial capital is the power, physical capital is the medium, and social capital and human capital are the ultimate goals. The main direction of energy is “natural capital → financial capital → physical, social, and human capital.” Simultaneously, reverse energy feedback should also be emphasized to promote the sustainable operation of this system. This study provides a new theoretical perspective of regional livelihood capital for the implementation of RRS and guidance for the practice of RRS in Diqing and other similar areas.
