Agroecología: potenciando la agricultura campesina para revertir el hambre y la inseguridad alimentaria en el mundo.
Palabras clave:
agroecología, agricultura campesina, soberanía alimentariaResumen
En este artículo se analizan las potencialidades de la agroecología basada en el control de las comunidades locales para hacer frente a enormes problemas humanos como el hambre y el deterioro ambiental. Para ello se revisa la literatura existente y se analizan diversas experiencias locales como la milpa mexicana, las ANAP cubanas y la MASIPAG filipina. Se concluye que se trata de verdaderas alternativas al modelo agroindustrial responsable de muchos de los problemas actuales.
