Objetive:

Is to analyze food sovereignty as a social process, based on a case study in La Trinitaria, Chiapas.

The methodology included qualitative interviews, transects and meetings with peasants of five rural communities in La Trinitaria municipality, in Chiapas. The Glissman's typology of agroecological process was used to analyze the different stages that the organization members are in their social construction of food sovereignty.

Results:

Conclusions:

Among the conclusions are reached stands that the food sovereignty social construction's strategy can be improving whit an agroecological training and production program.
