Abstract
Este estudio investiga el papel de la Agroferia Campesina de Magdalena en la
promoción de la agrobiodiversidad entre pequeños productores agrícolas en Lima, Perú.
Utilizando una metodología cualitativa que incluye entrevistas, observación participante
y análisis documental, se explora cómo esta cadena corta de comercialización influye
en las prácticas agrícolas y la conservación de especies nativas.
La investigación revela que la Agroferia, que evolucionó de un proyecto externo a una
asociación autogestionada, ha creado un espacio donde los agricultores pueden
comercializar directamente una diversidad de productos, incentivando la conservación
de variedades tradicionales y prácticas agroecológicas. Además, ha fomentado la
sensibilización de los consumidores urbanos sobre la importancia de la
agrobiodiversidad.
No obstante, el estudio identifica tensiones estructurales, como la precariedad del marco
legal y las barreras en los sistemas de certificación, que limitan el potencial
transformador de la iniciativa. Se concluye que, aunque las Agroferias representan un
modelo prometedor para vincular la conservación de la agrobiodiversidad con el
desarrollo rural sostenible, requieren un mayor apoyo político y marcos regulatorios
adecuados para maximizar su impacto y garantizar su continuidad.
This study examines the role of the Agroferia Campesina de Magdalena in promoting agrobiodiversity among small-scale agricultural producers in Lima, Peru. Employing a qualitative methodology encompassing interviews, participant observation, and document analysis, the research explores how this short food supply chain influences agricultural practices and the conservation of native species. The findings reveal that the Agroferia, which evolved from an externally driven project to a self-managed association, has created a space where farmers can directly market a diverse range of products, thereby incentivizing the conservation of traditional varieties and agroecological practices. Furthermore, it has fostered awareness among urban consumers about the importance of agrobiodiversity. However, the study identifies structural tensions, such as the precariousness of the legal framework and barriers in certification systems, which constrain the initiative's transformative potential. The research concludes that while Agroferias represent a promising model for linking agrobiodiversity conservation with sustainable rural development, they require enhanced political support and appropriate regulatory frameworks to maximize their impact and ensure their continuity.
