Facing the contexts of poverty and difficulty in access to foods, local production, distribution and exchange supply chains of foods and seeds that promote own consumption and proximity exchanges have emerged in the last two decades, which are promoted by social actors interested in community, peasant life, and the local consumption of foods. Through a combination of documental analysis and qualitative techniques, these supply chains from the states that integrate the Yucatan Peninsula and two central states (Puebla and Tlaxcala) were studied between 2016 and 2018, with the aim of characterizing their similarities and differences and to analyze social dynamics that give rise to processes of resilience in the sociocultural, environmental, economic, dietary and organizational spheres. Lacking a public policy that promotes local production and consumption, short food supply chains not only strengthen the local production and consumption of foods but rather acquire a political sense by promoting collective actions in defense of the biological and cultural heritage, setting a precedent at the national scale and showing action paths for other collectives in Latin America.
