Resumen

Objetivo: el sistema agrícola actual enfrenta múltiples desafíos. Para encararlos, es necesario que la agricultura transite hacia un modelo de desarrollo sostenible. Este artículo tiene como objetivo revisar las cuatro vías de práctica agrícola sostenible más representativas en la actualidad, analizar la trayectoria de su desarrollo y discutir los retos de la promoción de la agricultura sostenible, proponiendo recomendaciones de políticas correspondientes. Metodología: este estudio es un artículo de revisión narrativa, que se basa principalmente en la recopilación de literatura y marcos teóricos existentes, para presentar de manera sintética las principales prácticas de agricultura sostenible y, sobre la base de un análisis integral, plantear reflexiones y recomendaciones específicas. Resultados: a pesar de que diversas prácticas de agricultura sostenible han sido ampliamente promovidas a nivel global, en la práctica enfrentan dificultades comunes como marcos narrativos incompletos, eficiencia productiva limitada, altos umbrales tecnológicos, falta de ecoinnovación y un apoyo institucional insuficiente. Por ello, este estudio propone que se impulse su implementación mediante la promoción de la innovación colaborativa intersectorial, el fortalecimiento de la capacidad de gobernanza organizativa y la construcción de un marco de políticas más inclusivo y orientado al comportamiento. Originalidad/valor: este estudio ofrece una perspectiva estructurada para comprender las dificultades reales que enfrenta la agricultura sostenible. A nivel teórico, el estudio contribuye a clarificar los principales obstáculos en el proceso de transición del concepto a la implementación de la sostenibilidad agrícola; a nivel práctico, ofrece recomendaciones específicas que pueden servir como referencia para la formulación de políticas públicas.
