| description | Peasant markets have been a market strategy implemented in several regions of Colombia looking for bringing closer the producer to the consumer and to promote the political engagement of the peasantry. The current research analyzes the process of peasant markets through a case study in Sibate (Cundinamarca)-Colombia based on the logic of the food sovereignty principles. To this end, a mixed methodology was used with interviews and surveys of farmers, consumers and public officials participating in the strategy. The results emphasize that just two of the food sovereignty principles, food alternative markets and social peace, have been carried partially through. In this sense, food production for local consumption, the reduction of middleman participation, solidarity and support among actors, were remarked as the most critical aspects put into practice. However, the application of other features of food sovereignty is just emerging. Presumably, this is because of the weak democratic control carried out for the stakeholders, or because the peasant market in Sibate has mainly an economic focus given to the strategy. |

Mercados Campesinos ha sido una estrategia de comercialización implementada en varias regiones de Colombia, buscando acercar el productor al consumidor y potenciar la participación política del campesinado. Este artículo analiza el proceso de Mercados Campesinos a través de un estudio de caso en el municipio de Sibaté (Cundinamarca, Colombia) desde la lógica de la Soberanía Alimentaria. Para tal fin se utilizó una metodología mixta con entrevistas y encuestas a campesinos, consumidores y funcionarios públicos participantes de la estrategia. Los resultados destacan que sólo dos de los principios de la Soberanía Alimentaria han sido parcialmente implementados, siendo estos el comercio alternativo de alimentos y la paz social, pues se resalta la producción de alimentos para el consumo local y la limitación en la participación de intermediarios, así como las relaciones de solidaridad y apoyo mutuo entre los actores. Sin embargo, el desarrollo de otros elementos de la Soberanía Alimentaria es aún incipiente, probablemente esto se debe al débil control democrático ejercido por sus actores y por el enfoque principalmente económico que se le otorga a la estrategia.
