(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2024-12-31) Cerdas Vega, Gerardo; Mora Campos, Andrea; Penabad Camacho, Liana; Penabad-Camacho, María Amalia; Vega Solano, María Fernanda; Castro Solano, María Milagro; Nova Bustos, Lydia; Ulate Segura, Mónica; Méndez Solano, Andrea; Morales López, Yuri
Describe the construction stages of a structure that organizes good practices derived from the 1design of a management and sustainability model for Diamond (Non-commercial Open Access) scientific journals of the Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica. An assessment of the Latin American, Costa Rican, and institutional contexts was carried out on aspects related to policies on open knowledge during the last 20 years. The institutional route and its chronological record that show the evolution of editorial management of the journals since the creation of the first of these publications, approximately 50 years ago are described. The development of the scientific journal management model is described considering the conceptualization, guiding principles, work team, support and advisory bodies, financial sustainability, and monitoring and evaluation of the journals. The model’s innovation, adaptability, and alignment with international standards stand out, as well as collaborative work, strategic planning, and institutional protection, all of which led to the creation of tangible products including regulations and a manual of procedures. A capacity for adaptability in the editorial management of scientific journals is crucial for scientific and social progress. This model promotes sustainability and editorial quality with an emphasis on the diamond path, Open Science, and student inclusion, and its international impact has been recognized in promoting science as a public good and resistance to models based on Article Processing Charges (APC). The recommendations are organized with reference to the different sectors that manage scientific communication, highlighting the importance of promoting Non-commercial Open Access, generating venues to discuss the financial sustainability of open knowledge editorial management, and other spaces for international cooperation. Finally, the recognition of scientific communication as a public good must be accompanied by concrete actions that ensure adequate and stable resources that allow maintaining quality editorial management and promote ethical and transparent practices.
Agroecología y ciencias sociales: desafíos para la transición paradigmática en la producción agroalimentaria
(Universidad de Costa Rica (UCR), 2024-10-06) Cerdas Vega, Gerardo
El ensayo plantea la necesidad de reconsiderar el papel y la contribución de las ciencias sociales en la transición hacia un nuevo paradigma para la producción agroalimentaria, lo cual implica un cambio desde el modelo de la agricultura industrial hacia la agroecología. Con el fin de aportar una perspectiva de contexto del cambio requerido, se adopta una perspectiva sistémica y se destaca el potencial de la agroecología como un enfoque transdisciplinario para impulsar esta transformación. Concluye resaltando diversos ámbitos en los que las ciencias sociales pueden aportar para un cambio necesario en la forma en la que son producidos, intercambiados y consumidos los alimentos, fundamentales para nuestra existencia colectiva.
Changes in food behavior during the first lockdown of COVID-19 pandemic: a multi-country study about changes in eating habits, motivations, and food-related behaviors
(ELSEVIER, 2022-02-10) Lamy, Elsa; Villalobos, Keylor; Viegas, Claudia; Rocha, Ada; Lucas, María Raquel; Tavares, Sofía; Capela e Silva, Fernando; Guedes, David; Laureati, Mónica; Zian, Zeineb; Salles Machado, Alessandra; Ellssel, Pierre; Freyer, Bernhard; González Rodrigo, Elena; Calzadilla, Jesús; Majewski, Edward; Prazeres, Ibrahim; Silva, Vlademir; Juračak, Josip; Platilová Vorlíčková, Lenka; Kamutali, Antonino; Tschá, Elizabeth Regina; Želvytė, Rasa; Monkeviciene, Ingrida; Elati, Jalila; De Souza Pinto, Ana María; Midori Castelo, Paula; Anzman-Frasca, Stephanie
The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in severe, unprecedented changes affecting the world population. Restrictions in mobility, social distancing measures, and the persistent social alarm, during the first period of pandemic, resulted in dramatic lifestyle changes and affected physical and psychological wellbeing on a global scale. An international research team was constituted to develop a study involving different countries about eating motivations, dietary habits and behaviors related with food intake, acquisition, and preparation. This study presents results of an online survey, carried out during the first lockdown, in 2020, assessing food-related behavior and how people perceived them to change, comparatively to the period preceding the COVID-19 outbreak. A total of 3332 responses, collected from 16 countries, were considered for analysis [72.8% in Europe, 12.8% in Africa, 2.2% in North America (USA) and 12.2% in South America]. Results suggest that the main motivations perceived to drive food intake were familiarity and liking. Two clusters were identified, based on food intake frequency, which were classified as “healthier” and “unhealthier”. The former was constituted by individuals with higher scholarity level, to whom intake was more motivated by health, natural concerns, and weight control, and less by liking, pleasure or affect regulation. The second cluster was constituted by individuals with a higher proportion of male and intake more influenced by affect-related motivations. During this period, a generalized lower concern with the convenience attributes of foods was noted (namely, choice of processed products and fast-food meals), alongside an increase in time and efforts dedicated to home cooking. Understanding the main changes and their underlying motivations in a time of unprecedented crisis is of major importance, as it provides the scientific support that allows one to anticipate the implications for the future of the global food and nutrition system and, consequently, to take the appropriate action.
Denominaciones de origen: narrativas multidisciplinarias sobre sus objetivos en Latinoamérica.
(Universidad Nacional, UNA, 2025-04-05) Mena Rojas, Warner Arturo; Granados Rojas, Leonardo Gabriel; Villalobos Moya, Keylor H.; Cerdas Vega, Gerardo Enrique; Lacayo Murillo, Jimena
Esta investigación tiene como propósito explorar cuáles son los objetivos de las denominaciones de origen en América Latina, desde una perspectiva multidisciplinar. El enfoque es cualitativo exploratorio y los datos han sido obtenidos a través de fuentes primarias y secundarias. Método: Se llevó a cabo una revisión bibliográfica sobre el tema; se sistematizaron las ponencias de 19 especialistas de 10 países; y, se aplicó un cuestionario en línea a 296 personas de 14 países, tratándose de una muestra intencional no probabilística. Los resultados destacan tres objetivos primordiales de las denominaciones de origen mediante narrativas multidisciplinarias: en primer lugar, promover el desarrollo rural a través de la valorización de los recursos locales y la mejora de la imagen del territorio; en segundo lugar, garantizar el origen de los productos y generar confianza en los consumidores; y, finalmente, asegurar la exclusividad en el uso del nombre del producto para los productores dentro del territorio delimitado, con el fin de protegerlo contra usos fraudulentos. Este estudio exploratorio sobre las denominaciones de origen en América Latina, desde una perspectiva multidisciplinaria, destaca la convergencia de percepciones clave entre diversos países.

A través de esta investigación, se identificaron 190 iniciativas relacionadas con la producción, comercialización, educación y/o organización, todas vinculadas de diversas formas a la práctica y promoción de la agroecología, distribuidas en las siete provincias y en un total de 61 cantones, lo que representa el 72.6 % de los municipios del país.
Mudanças e reconfigurações da Agroindústria Sucroenergética Brasileira a partir da década de 1990: uma retrospectiva
(Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro, (UFRRJ), 2023-05-31) Cerdas Vega, Gerardo
O artigo apresenta o processo de mudanças institucionais, organizacionais e políticas experimentado pelo complexo agroindustrial canavieiro no Brasil, em particular pelos grupos de maior poder econômico, concentrados no estado de São Paulo, a partir da década de 1990 até o ano de 2014. Esses grupos, denominados no contexto da pesquisa como Agroindústria Sucroenergética Brasileira (ASB), passaram de um modelo de organização setorial de corte burocrático e estado-cêntrico, para um de caráter mais aberto, flexível e diversificado no tocante aos atores participantes, mas no qual a presença e a participação do Estado brasileiro continuou como parte essencial das relações entre o poder estatal e a grande agricultura patronal canavieira.
