| description | Society faces strong challenges to guarantee Food and Nutrition Security (FNS), especially in rural and indigenous communities. This study builds the bases for an agroecological transition process in order to contribute to the SAN´s guarantee in Muisca farming families in “Fonquetá y Cerca de Piedra” indigenous reservation in Chía-Cundinamarca (Colombia). The territorial context and the farming families limitations and potentialities, were analyzed to undertake a process towards the agroecological transition, which is conceived as a complex process of change from a conventional to an alternative form of sustainable agriculture based on agroecology way of producing food. A participatory methodology with a mixed approach was proposed, in order to identify categories of analysis based on an SAN analysis framework with an agroecological approach. The work was carried out with 13 families from the indigenous reservation dedicated to family farming with 45 people. 23% of family farms are planted with food crops, aromatic, medicinal and / or plants for ritual use and are generally located in the initial stages of the transition, although some have strengths in advanced stages. Despite negative situations such as the lack of economic support from the council or the municipality and the shortage of people to cultivate, there is a marked interest in producing food while preserving the environment and its culture, as well as a set of knowledge that should be promoted from the indigenous reservation to rebuild SAN in a collective way. The need to turn the institutional concept of FNS approached in this study towards the concept of Food Sovereignty is concluded, given its holistic, systemic, situated, inclusive and rights-based nature that promotes the agroecological transition. |

La sociedad actual enfrenta fuertes desafíos para garantizar la Seguridad Alimentaria y Nutricional (SAN), especialmente en comunidades rurales e indígenas. Este estudio construye las bases para un proceso de transición agroecológica con el fin de aportar a la garantía de la SAN en familias agricultoras del resguardo indígena Muisca de “Fonquetá y Cerca de Piedra” en Chía-Cundinamarca (Colombia). Se analizaron las limitaciones y potencialidades del contexto territorial y las familias agricultoras, para emprender un proceso hacia la transición agroecológica, que se concibe como un proceso complejo de cambio desde una forma convencional de producir alimentos hacia una forma alternativa de agricultura sostenible de base agroecológica. Se planteó una metodología participativa con enfoque mixto que identificó categorías de análisis a partir de un marco de análisis para la SAN con enfoque agroecológico. El trabajo se realizó con 13 familias del resguardo indígena dedicadas a la agricultura familiar con un total de 45 personas. El 23% de los predios familiares se encuentra sembrado con cultivos alimentarios, aromáticas, medicinales y/o plantas de uso ritual y se ubican en general en estadías iniciales de la transición, aunque algunas presentan fortalezas en etapas avanzadas. A pesar de las situaciones negativas como la falta de apoyo económico desde el cabildo o el municipio y la escasez de personas para cultivar, existe un interés marcado por producir alimentos conservando el ambiente y su cultura, así como un conjunto de saberes que deben ser promovidos desde el resguardo indígena para repensar la SAN desde la colectividad. Se concluye la necesidad de dar un giro en el concepto institucional de la SAN abordado en este estudio, hacia el concepto de Soberanía Alimentaria, dado su carácter holístico, sistémico, situado, integrador y de derechos que promueve la transición agroecológica.
