This paper highlights the commitment of the academy to build knowledge in a participatory manner, integrating the actors that are proposed as the object of study. From this perspective, dialogue with the territories is a way of contributing to the construction of peace in Colombia. The notion of Peace Economies is addressed to appreciate the way in which community and associative processes that are created from the territories, starring peasant, indigenous and Afro-Colombian communities contribute to the construction of stable and lasting peace from territorialization, political participation in Territory planning and innovation in foodscapes.
This article seeks to contribute to the reflection on the role that communities can occupy in peacebuilding and the way in which humanitarian engineering can offer solutions to everyday problems of grassroots organizations that seek to innovate from the territories in the food landscapes.
