Social Vulnerability and Local Agro-industrial Production. An Analysis Strategy from Microhistory

Abstract

In this article, we present a series of theoretical reflections that show microhistory as a way of analysis to identify the risk factors that place local agroindustrial producers, who form a social and solidarity economy through their activities, in a state of social vulnerability. It is considered that in each of the processes that producers carry out in their daily lives they may face different risks - dimensions of analysis - that make them vulnerable; therefore, it is necessary to recover each of the phases they develop, from processing to marketing under a short-circuit logic. In this sense, we offer some positionings that make it possible to connect theoretical-epistemological elements on the subject and we propose a way of approaching it. We also highlight the importance of this research, as it is a topic that has not been addressed very often in this specific sector, so we invite you to read the following pages.
