Territorial capacities for the scaling of agroecological innovations

Abstract

Agroecology is an alternative approach to socio-economic and environmental crises, which hinder the utilization of natural and cultural wealth in rural communities, and it requires the strengthening of territorial capacities for its scaling up. Despite the extensive literature on agroecological scaling, studies must be more comprehensive to understand the territorial capacities required in this process. A review of 37 documents was carried out in specialized databases to establish the relationship between capacities and scaling, highlighting agency, territorial governance, and co-construction of knowledge, which enable the management of natural and artificial assets. The involvement of actors seeking to participate in political advocacy through collective action was evident, but few documents emphasized the importance of natural capital and infrastructures. No works suggesting evaluations of shared knowledge construction processes were found. Hence, additional research should be developed.
