Innovation processes for the agroecological transition in Maya milpa systems
Abstract
The symposium "Innovation processes in agriculture for the agroecological transition (AET) in milpa maya agriculture" was held, whose objective was to reflect on the advances of innovation for the AET in Yucatan, Mexico. Participated in 130 actors: academics, decision- makers, agroecological technicians, students, and the public. It included a conference: "multi- stakeholder innovation processes in and for AET's", a panel table: "advances and challenges in innovation processes in AET" and six discussion tables: I) factors that intervene in AET; II) key actors for the AET; III) effective pathways to AET; IV) co-design of agroecological innovations; V) coordination of actions for agroecology in Yucatán; and VI) agroecological experiences in Yucatan: successes and opportunities. It highlighted a) the need to strengthen milpera agriculture with agroecological technical and social innovations; and b) the articulation of horizontal, participatory and transdisciplinary actors and actions is a priority.
