GOMEZ-VARGAS, Alix B y GIRALDO-CALDERON, Patricia Elena. Relational Analysis of the Food System in the Towns Andes and Santa Fe de Antioquia: Relationship between Actors, Agents and Institutions. Cuad. Desarro. Rural [online]. 2014, vol.11, n.73, pp.191-210. ISSN 0122-1450.
This paper examines food security in two rural areas of Antioquia: Andes and Santa Fe de Antioquia. To this end, the concept of food system and the conceptual and methodological approach of social network analysis (SNA) were adopted. Results: In Andes there are high levels of conflict, lower levels of cooperation and coordination, high levels of intermediation and centralization; in Santa Fe de Antioquia there are more cooperation and coordination relations, and power is concentrated in few actors. In conclusion, the networks' methodology made possible the development of a relational analysis between actors from a qualitative and a quantitative point of view. Additionally, the food system worked as a structural framework in which these relationships are embedded.
