| Abstract (English): |
In the midst of the health emergency caused by COVID-19 in Colombia, strategies have been generated to strengthen food security and sovereignty. Among the mechanisms adopted by urban and rural communities and local governments are alternative ways of obtaining food, one of which is trueque, which allows the exchange of food produced by peasants between territories. In Bogotá, the mercados campesinos have been strengthened, which have made it possible to bring food produced by peasants in Tolima, Meta and Boyacá to urban households, promoting short marketing circuits and fair payment to producers. In spite of these alternatives, the demonstrations to make visible the hunger of the households emerged the trapos rojos (red rags) in the houses, which have alerted about the situation of a good part of Colombians and have encouraged solidarity among neighbors. The position of academia has been avant-garde, directly involving peasants in processes to guarantee the right to food in Colombia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |

En medio de la emergencia sanitaria producida por la COVID-19 en Colombia, se generaron estrategias para el fortalecimiento de la seguridad y la soberanía alimentaria. Entre los mecanismos adoptados por las comunidades urbanas, rurales y los gobiernos locales se encuentran las formas alternativas en la obtención de alimentos -como el trueque-el cual ha facilitado el intercambio entre territorios de alimentos producidos por los campesinos. A su vez, en Bogotá, se han estado fortaleciendo los mercados campesinos que han permitido llevar a los hogares urbanos alimentos producidos por los campesinos de Tolima, Meta y Boyacá fomentando los circuitos cortos de comercialización y el pago justo a los productores. A pesar de estas alternativas, las manifestaciones para visibilizar el hambre de los hogares se han hecho presentes. Un ejemplo de ello fueron los trapos rojos en las puertas y ventanas de las casas que alertaron sobre la situación de buena parte de colombianos y han alentado la solidaridad entre vecinos. Finalmente, la posición de la academia ha sido vanguardista vinculando de manera directa a los campesinos en procesos por la garantía del derecho a la alimentación en Colombia.
