RESUMO
Se expone el desarrollo de un proceso territorial de acción comunitaria para la salud basada en activos, que tuvo como objetivo generar estrategias concretas para combatir el hambre y la malnutrición en un barrio popular de la ciudad de Tunja (Colombia) con altas brechas de desigualdad económica y fragmentación social. A partir de la identificación y la dinamización de diversas iniciativas de autonomías alimentarias se generó una red comunitaria que facilitó la utilización colectiva de recursos, saberes y prácticas propias alrededor del proceso agroalimentario. Con ello se promovió la accesibilidad a alimentos saludables y culturalmente legítimos, a la vez que se configuró un espacio vincular de autonomía, organización, participación y cooperación solidaria entre vecinos. Esto demuestra la potencialidad salutogénica de las acciones locales en salud y de abordar la alimentación de manera participativa, hecho que señalamos como una propuesta político-popular y académica para la promoción de la salud colectiva.(AU)
This paper presents the development of a territorial process of community action for health based on assets. Its objective was to generate concrete strategies to combat hunger and malnutrition in a working-class neighbourhood of the Colombian city of Tunja where there are significant gaps in terms of economic inequality and social fragmentation. Through the identification and dynamization of diverse initiatives of food autonomy, a community network was created which facilitated the collective use of their own resources, knowledge, and practices around the agri-food process. This promoted access to healthy and culturally accepted foods and a space where autonomy, organisation, participation, and cooperation among neighbours converged. The above shows the salutogenic potentiality of local actions in health and of approaching food in a participative way, something that we point out as a political-popular and academic proposal for the promotion of collective health.(AU)
