| This paper analyses the role of socio-cultural relationships in agroecosystems. Assuming that the transformation towards more sustainable, sovereign and healthy food systems requires adoption of ecological principles in agriculture?agroecology?and the empowerment of rural communities, it is argued that these two need to be reflected in rural development policies and practices. So far, the agroecological approach is being undertaken by various grassroots initiatives in a response to their local needs and global context. Analyzing two distinct projects?a village based agroecological collective production in Spain, and a regional campesino-a-campesino movement in Nicaragua?we analize their collective organisation and draw key elements that these initiatives have in common and that are crucial for the food system transformation. Both are based on building strong social and human capital that empower the individuals and leave their communities more resilient and sustainable. The fundamental principle is participative and egalitarian approach to decision-making, which is incorporated in new forms of horizontal organisation and education. | |
