Abstract in English: To facilitate a transition from industrial agriculture, it is imperative to strengthen the links between politics and agroecology. Agroecology should not be understood only as the result of a series of physical and biological properties because it also reflects sociocultural relations of power. Therefore, individual and collective action is required to promote an agroecological transition when the actors articulate a common vision. For this reason, our work hypothesizes that “without collective action, there are no agroecological transitions.” The present investigation analyzes communal territories’ social, environmental, and productive functioning in three Aymara communities: Chigani Alto, Villa Anta, and Cebollullo. This research uses the Agroecological Transitions framework of the Institute of Agroecology at the University of Vermont and the Participatory Action Research approach.
