Abstract

One of the main challenges facing human society is to achieve food sovereignty while conserving natural resources. This study took place in the territory REGAC to understand the dynamics related to Food Sovereignty around Yucatan in Natural Protected Areas (NPAs). The objective was to measure the state of food sovereignty in the REGAC region and in each municipality inside the territory through the radar chart methodology, which is assessed with the following dimensions: 1) access to resources, 2) social capital, 3) transformation and commercialization, and 4) food consumption. Results indicate that access to resources dimension is an unstable state, while social capital and food consumption are in a critical state; however, the most concerning dimension is transformation and commercialization, which is approaching collapse. Finally, the overall state of Food Sovereignty in the REGAC is critical. These findings are consistent with the absence of a management plan, which, if implemented, could incorporate necessary components to enhance food sovereignty, as suggested in the discussion.
