Abstract
Se aborda la seguridad y soberanía alimentaria en Puerto Rico, utilizando el Proyecto El Josco Bravo como ejemplo de economía social y solidaria en acción. Puerto Rico depende mayormente de importaciones para su alimentación, lo que lo hace vulnerable ante crisis externas. Se analiza el concepto de la economía social y solidaria como una alternativa viable para fortalecer la producción local y garantizar acceso a alimentos saludables. ElJosco Bravo se presenta como un modelo comunitario que promueve la agroecología mediante prácticas sostenibles y autogestión. Entre los hallazgos se destaca la falta de voluntad política y el escaso respaldo institucional que limitan una agricultura local sostenible. También se resalta la importancia del rescate del conocimiento agrícola. A partir de estos hallazgos, proponemos delineamientos para una política pública que impulse la soberanía alimentaria. Entre ellos, el reconocimiento del derecho a la soberanía alimentaria y la integración de la economía social y solidaria al sistema agroalimentario.
The topic of food security and sovereignty are addressed by using the El Josco Bravo Project as an example of social and solidarity economy in action. Puerto Rico relies heavily on food imports, making it vulnerable to external crises. The concept of the social and solidarity economy is analyzed as a viable alternative to strengthen local food production and ensure access to healthy food. El Josco Bravo is presented as a community based model that promotes agroecology through sustainable practices and self management. Key findings include a lack of political will and limited institutional support, which hinder the development of sustainable local agriculture. The importance of recovering agricultural knowledge is also emphasized. Based on these findings, we propose guidelines for public policy aimed at advancing food sovereignty. Among them are the recognition of food sovereignty as a fundamental right and the integration of the social and solidarity economy into the agri-food system.
