One way to overcome some of the limitations of traditional rural development policies is the commitment to alternative agrofood models based on agroecology and food sovereignty. The agroecological transition processes intend, among other things, to activate two fundamental dimensions: the recovery of traditional ecological knowledge and the articulation of alternative food networks, and they need a networked organizational system supported, if possible, by local institutions. In the Spanish case, in recent years more and more public administrations have been implementing local food policies, with paradigms that are relatively distant from the hegemonic agro-food model. In the present text we analyzed how the processes of agroecological transition can contribute to activate and/or reinvent a cultural heritage capable of mobilizing actors’ networks in the territory, and how these processes can modify, in turn, the functioning of certain local institutions introducing participative spaces and hybrid forums of collective action.
