    En la mayoría de los casos las iniciativas proponen la zonificación de la agricultura campesina, es decir, la definición de zonas de protección de esta agricultura y en contrapartida, de exclusión de los cultivos producidos en base a fumigaciones y semillas transgénicas.

    En la mayoría de los casos, además, no hay un solo actor social preponderante en la consecución de las ordenanzas, sino que varios actores -comités campesinos, pastorales, instituciones ambientalistas, concejales, comisiones vecinales…- que se articulan en plataformas para tener mayores resultados.

    The climate-smart agriculture (CSA) concept reflects

    development and climate responsiveness. It aims to achieve
    food security and broader development goals under a
    changing climate and increasing food demand. CSA initiatives
    sustainably increase productivity, enhance resilience, and
    reduce/remove greenhouse gases (GHGs), and require
    planning to address tradeoffs and synergies between these
    three pillars: productivity, adaptation, and mitigation [1].

    Las plantas silvestres alimenticias son un componente esencial de la dieta de la población rural en distintas partes del mundo, teniendo un rol importante en su seguridad alimentaria y diversidad nutricional.
