Attended markets

Large productive
systems serve
domestic and
foreign markets.
Most of the
small productive
systems remain
isolated from
those markets,
except when they
can gain niche
markets

These are
restricted. Exports
are generally
restricted and
a few countries
serve niche
markets. The
domestic market is
little developed

 These are
restricted. Exports
are generally
restricted and
a few countries
serve niche
markets. The
domestic market is
well developed		 Mostly local
markets. These
are served with
sustainably
produced products
of good nutritional
value		 Both domestic and
foreign markets, with
sustainably produced
products of good
nutritional value

Social
organization
of vulnerable
production
systems

Complete; it
is real through
production centers
or cooperatives

Restricted; it
is replaced by
assistentialism

 Restricted. It
is replaced by
assistentialism, but
its materialization
is encouraged
by NGOs
concerned with
the environment,
biodiversity
and traditional/
indigenous
knowledge		 Complete and
strongly localist, but
restricted by scarcity
of resources		 It is connected to
production centers
and aimed to product
qualification
Availability of
resources for
agriculture
 Sufficient. Natural
resources are
easily got at;
knowledge is
increasingly
available		 Large in rich
countries;
resources are
easily accessed
in poor countries.
There is some
degradation of
natural resources,
and a restricted
access to
knowledge		 Large in rich
countries;
resources are
easily accessed
in poor countries.
There is some
degradation of
natural resources,
and free access to
knowledge		 The use of natural
resources is
constrained by
environmental
concerns. There are
scarce economic
resources. There
is free access to
available resources
and knowledge		 The use of natural
resources is
constrained by
environmental
concerns. There are
ample economic
resources, and free
access to available
resources and
knowledge
Performance
of agricultural
productive
systems
 Greater efficiency
and production
quality in big firms.
Performance is
highly variable
among small
systems: efficiency
and production
quality are low,
and the most
vulnerable
emigrate		 Better efficiency
and production
quality in big firms.
Performance is
highly variable
among small
systems: efficiency
and production
quality are low,
and the most
vulnerable
emigrate		 Better efficiency

quality in big firms.
Performance is
highly variable
among small
systems: efficiency
and production
quality are low,
and the most
vulnerable
emigrate Niches
of agro-ecological
production stay
put		 Productive
processes and
their products
are more sound
and friendly with
the environment.
Problems emerge
in regard to the
production of
enough quantities of
food.		 Large efficiency and
production quality
is attained in all
productive systems
because they are fully
integrated as supply
chains
Rent inequality in
agriculture
 Increases, but
unevenly across
LAC		 Increases because
most investments
are made by
transnational firms
and those are not
of a social kind		 Increases, but
unevenly across
LAC		 Unevenly decreases;
deracination of
farmers increases
inequality		 Decreases across LAC
