Abstract

El auge del cultivo de la quinua en Bolivia se produjo en una sociedad aparentemente aislada y ancestral, arraigada en el sur del altiplano andino, aunque en realidad, móvil y abierta al mundo. Este libro explora las transformaciones sociales y territoriales provocadas por el paso de una agricultura de subsistencia, sobre todo local, a una producción comercial globalizada. Globalizada... pero todavía en manos de pequeños productores y sus organizaciones. Es a través del prisma de la geografía social que se muestran las permanencias y evoluciones, apoyándose en un detallado conocimiento de las comunidades locales. Yendo más allá de las constataciones apresuradas y a veces alarmistas, este libro pone de relieve los recursos y la capacidad de adaptación de una sociedad rural en mutación. Nos sumerge en la intimidad de las trayectorias de vida de ios productores de quinua, anclados en sus comunidades y, al mismo tiempo, móviles y globalizados. Se destaca el genio de esta sociedad rural que, a través de la migración, combina lugares, actividades e identidades, articula ciudades y campos, gestiona el aquí y el afuera. Cultivar yéndose e irse cultivando: tal es la hazaña llevada a cabo por los productores de quinua. La sostenibilidad agrícola, socioeconómica y ambiental de estos territorios está en el corazón de las intenciones: ¿no debe, de hecho, ser tomada en cuenta en el movimiento?

Abstract

With this book, the reader will become familiar with services and service research as evolving phenomena in private, non-industrial family forestry. Targeted as learning material for higher-education students in Western economies, and as a handbook for forest scientists worldwide, the book has a strong theoretical base, but also a practical orientation with examples of novel forest services from different regions and contexts. Conceptual foundations of service dominant logic (S-D logic) will introduce the reader to the service research lenses, through which the subsequent chapters scrutinize services designed and offered to family forest owners. These publicly funded or market services typically help owners fulfil various land ownership objectives through forest management. Increasingly, these services are helping landowners to secure and improve ecosystem services provision from their forests and helping to meet demands from the various stakeholders. While the book essentially approaches services as a continuous, value co-creation activity by forest owners and service providers, it recognizes and analyses the role of supporting institutions and policy frameworks in service evolution. Moreover, the book takes a step further by contemplating the wider societal transitions that may be required to enable service ideas to become service innovations as part of paradigmatic changes of markets, entrepreneurship, and customer behavior that help society move towards more sustainable and responsible bio-based economy.
