Abstract

Our ongoing research involves the study, through a spatial, social and ethnographic approach, of selected local food production practices, which promote diverse alternatives to dominant food chains. It qualitatively assesses how these practices modify the physical territory and social relations, also analysing how the actors’ behaviours and choices are induced by cultural factors. It aims to document and analyse these practices and identifies what enables or hampers transformations towards full agroecological and sustainable food systems in Basilicata. In return this analysis can enrich the intersection between agroecology and agroecology urbanism, towards an agroecology territorialism. This paper briefly outlines the reflections that led us to want to extend the visions of an agroecology urbanism to rural, inner and mountain areas. Being the research at an early stage, we focus on the methodology for mapping the agri-food practices and we close with some openings and ongoing research questions emerging from initial activities (exploratory interviews, visits and context analysis).
