| description | Food distribution is closely related to territorial socioeconomic transformations. Movements such as urbanization have been linked to the expansion of the corporate distribution model, often to the detriment of traditional forms of commercialization. This article describes food distribution characteristics in a rural area, of which a part has been affected by urbanization. Results were obtained through a qualitative study of collective cases in San Cristóbal, Medellín-Colombia. Food distribution was found to be influenced by geographic patterns. The corporate model is located within the area with the greatest urban influence, and commercial operations are performed outside the local context of food production. Meanwhile, the traditional model was found widely used throughout the territory, with marked differences in operating conditions, depending on the type of township where this model was operating. These two distribution models co-exist in the territory, and their operational norms contribute to the availability and access to foods, which highlights the importance of these settings in advancing public policies that seek to guarantee food sovereignty and food and nutritional security |

Procesos como la urbanización están ligados a la expansión del modelo corporativo, en detrimento de formas tradicionales de comercialización. Mediante estudio cualitativo de casos colectivos se describen las características de distribución de alimentos en un territorio rururbanizado: San Cristóbal en Medellín-Colombia. Se halló que la distribución de alimentos está influenciada por dinámicas geográficas: el modelo corporativo se ubica en zonas con mayor influencia urbana y opera al margen del contexto local de producción de alimentos, mientras que el modelo tradicional se encuentra ampliamente distribuido, con diferencias operativas de acuerdo al tipo de vereda donde se localiza, a mayor distancia de áreas urbanas se disminuyen las capacidades de abastecimiento y comercialización. Ambos modelos coexisten, y sus formas de operación condicionan la disponibilidad y acceso a los alimentos, indicando su importancia como escenario de actuación de políticas públicas garantes de soberanía y seguridad alimentaria.
