SANTANDER MENDOZA, Sol  y  Y RIVERA, Isabel Ramón. Indicators of Agroecological Management of Urban and Periurban Agricultural Soils in Caracas, Venezuela. Rev Cie Téc Agr [online]. 2022, vol.31, n.4  Epub 12-Dic-2022. ISSN 2071-0054.

Urban and periurban agriculture has been recognized as a fundamental strategy in achieving food security, which makes necessary a characterization of such systems and the implementation of evaluation systems of their sustainability, which lead to their more efficient management. Proposals are presented for indicator systems related to soil resource management, built in a participatory manner, in two peri-urban and one urban productive areas. From the previous analysis of each agroecosystem, the SWOT matrix was built and the evaluation of the soil profile was carried out. Once the information obtained by producers, students and teachers was analyzed using the MESMIS reference framework, the farm design was carried out and the system of indicators proposed for its management was established.

Palabras clave : Sustainability Assessment; Food Security; Participatory Action Research.
