(...) forms of participation also encourage social commitments, with residents encountering each other around resources and dialogues that lead to fruitful arrangements for coexistence in diversity. These aspects will strongly contribute to markets’ sustainability.
— Huaita-Alfaro, 2019 (p.6)

My explorations and experiences would not be possible without the existence of networks of agents that, from their multiple areas and realms of action, sum up efforts to maintain markets and food resources as present opportunities for building enjoyable and flourishing living environments.

These agents - from local, global, academic, public and private organisations - support local communities to grow strong in these ideals, and importantly contribute to positive visions and impacts in our cities. CoMercado motivations are in line with their work and my intention is to generate more dialogues and actions together.

This map shows agents I have encountered during my ongoing explorations and experiences, as well as those I learned about during my studies and now follow to nurture my practice.
