Capital social comunitario: recurso promotor en los emprendimientos agroecológicos

Abstract

The objective is to highlight the contributions of community social capital to agro-ecological ventures. A methodological procedure that included a documentary review under a deductive rationalist episteme was developed. The resources associated with community- peasant social capital lead, promote and mobilize social transformation processes in agro-ecological production systems. From the results it is concluded that cooperation, trust and associativity in agro-productive peasant organizations, constitutes a necessarycondition to make the management of agro-ecological ventures viable and a precondition that facilitates their initiation.
