| description | Agroecological and artisanal produce markets have multiplied as part of a broader process that promotes food citizenship oriented towards justice and sustainability. However, this phenomenon is immersed in the complexity of food systems and entails great heterogeneity. This article analyzes the relationship between these types of initiatives and the gentrification processes in some of the areas where they are established. The topic is approached from ethnographic material collected in the framework of a research project on agroecological production initiatives and artisanal transformation in Mexico City and on the citizens’ collectives that facilitate the commercialization of this production. The findings show that in certain areas of the city these markets shape a broader set of “alternative” food supply networks linked to gentrification processes and the findings identify some of the factors that affect the reproduction of social inequalities within the framework of these initiatives. At the same time, the study underscores the agency of the actors involved and documents their abilities to use these spaces through the growing demand for fresh, healthy, and locally-sourced food to advance their own ends in areas subject to gentrification. |

Los mercados de producción agroecológica y artesanal se han multiplicado como parte de un proceso más amplio que busca impulsar ciudadanías alimentarias orientadas a la justicia y la sustentabilidad. No obstante, este fenómeno se encuentra inmerso en la complejidad de los sistemas alimentarios y alberga gran heterogeneidad. En el artículo se analizan las relaciones entre este tipo de iniciativas y los procesos de gentrificación de algunas de las áreas donde se establecen. El tema es abordado a partir del material etnográfico recolectado en el marco de un proyecto de investigación enfocado en la documentación de iniciativas de producción agroecológica y la transformación artesanal que operan en la Ciudad de México y en los colectivos ciudadanos que facilitan la comercialización de sus productos. Los hallazgos muestran que en ciertas zonas de la ciudad estos mercados intervienen en un conjunto más amplio de oferta alimentaria “alternativa” vinculada a los procesos de gentrificación e identifica algunos de los factores que inciden en la reproducción de las desigualdades sociales en el marco de estas iniciativas. Al mismo tiempo, se visibiliza la agencia de los actores y se documenta su capacidad de utilizar el espacio de oportunidad creado por la creciente demanda de alimentos frescos, saludables y de origen local en las zonas sujetas a procesos de gentrificación para avanzar hacia sus propios fines. Os mercados de produção agroecológica e artesanal multiplicaram-se como parte de um processo mais amplo que busca promover a cidadania alimentar orientada para a justiça e a sustentabilidade. No entanto, este fenômeno está imerso na complexidade dos sistemas alimentares e abriga grande heterogeneidade. O artigo analisa as relações entre este tipo de iniciativas e os processos de gentrificação de algumas das áreas onde estão implantadas. O tema é abordado a partir de material etnográfico coletado no âmbito de um projeto de pesquisa, focado na documentação de iniciativas de produção agroecológica e transformação artesanal que operam na Cidade do México e nos grupos de cidadãos que facilitam a comercialização de seus produtos. As conclusões mostram que em determinadas zonas da cidade estes mercados intervêm num conjunto mais amplo de ofertas alimentares “alternativas” ligadas aos processos de gentrificação e identificam alguns dos fatores que influenciam a reprodução das desigualdades sociais no quadro destas iniciativas. Ao mesmo tempo, torna-se visível a agencia dos atores e documenta-se a sua capacidade de utilizar o espaço de oportunidade criado pela crescente procura de alimentos frescos, saudáveis ??e de origem local em áreas sujeitas a processos de gentrificação.
