Los mercados campesinos como estrategia de sustentabilidad en los sistemas alimentarios de Cundinamarca, Colombia

Contextualization: sustainability of food systems has acquired great relevance in academic and political fields, and the emergence of proposals questioning food distribution on a global scale stands out. In Colombia, the experience of the National Network of Family Farming (RENAF for its Spanish acronym) and its campaign "Llevo el Campo colombiano" (I carry the Colombian countryside, in English) stand out, which integrates farmers, ethnic, and agroecological markets in various departments of the country.

Knowledge gap: Lack of analysis on the potential of short marketing circuits concerning sustainability, based on analysis frameworks contextualized from the perspective of actors making them up.

Purpose: To analyze the sustainability of the markets in short marketing circuits of the "Llevo el Campo colombiano" campaign of the Cundinamarca Node of the National Network of Family Farming (RENAF for its Spanish acronym) and its contribution to the food systems sustainability.

Methodology: Three surveys with mixed questions were used to collect information. A sustainability analysis framework was developed with 25 indicators grouped into five attributes: self-management, stability, territorial dynamization, equity, and environmental care. The analysis of the relationships between indicators was carried out through a multiple correspondence analysis.

Results and conclusions: the self-management and environmental care attributes showed the highest contribution values to sustainability, followed by stability, and equity which reached a similar value. There are indicators to be strengthened in all attributes, which would allow the reinforcement of market dynamics and, therefore, their contribution to the food system sustainability from a territorial perspective.
