Un proceso participativo es una secuencia de actividades participativas (p.e. primero rellenar una encuesta, luego realizar propuestas, debatirlas en encuentros presenciales o virtuales, y finalmente priorizarlas) con el objetivo de definir y tomar una decisión sobre un tema específico.

Ejemplos de procesos participativos son: un proceso de elección de los miembros de un comité (donde primero se presentan unas candidaturas, luego se debate y finalmente se elige una candidatura), presupuestos participativos (donde se realizan propuestas, se valoran económicamente y se vota con el dinero disponible), un proceso de planificación estratégica, la redacción colaborativa de un reglamento o norma, el diseño de un espacio urbano o la producción de un plan de políticas públicas.

Ideas for Building and Strengthening Local Food Systems

Neighborhood Level Strategies to Catalyze Action

Acerca de este proceso

Improving the food system is often discussed in terms of international hunger-reducing strategies, the US Farm Bill, or state-level policy changes. These discussions are typically led by NGOs, policymakers, or regional governmental agencies and nonprofits. There has been much less discussion of food system development at the neighborhood level, led directly by residents. This is a space to generate and explore new ideas for developing local food systems at the neighborhood and community levels.

In the process of developing ideas, we encourage starting with some basic questions:

  • Why is a strong local food system important to our community?

  • What would a strong local food system look like here?

  • What resources and assets already exist that we can build from?

  • How can residents implement changes and build continued momentum on their own?

  • What might we need outside help to accomplish?

Through shared learning, dialogue, and exchange of ideas, the goal of this process is to gather your collective knowledge into a collaborative report. The report will highlight innovative ideas and best practices informed by your experiences. We hope it will be used as a starting point for you and your neighbors and residents from other communities who aim to improve quality of life through their local food system.
