Giasat
Description
GIASAT (Integrated Agroecological Management of Territorialized Food Systems) is a working group that has been reflecting together since 2019. It is currently a consortium of five entities linked to the agroecological sector. Their common thread is that, from different perspectives and locations, they are promoting, facilitating, and/or supporting one or more of these processes in their respective territories.
Mission:
Producers—especially those on small and medium-sized farms—face difficulties accessing local markets, which exacerbates poverty and rural depopulation, as well as leading to a loss of quality food for the population. Giasat aims to develop a logistics and distribution system tailored to small and medium-sized producers, focusing on short supply chains to enable them to scale up production and generate access to more sustainable and healthy food.
Vision:
Giasat aims to achieve an Integrated Management of Territorialized Food Systems (SAT) by energizing and supporting the various agents involved under a social economy approach and collaboratively solving the needs of the sector.
