The aim of this article is to analyze the role of consumers of Utopia Basket in the organization of intercultural economic solidarity circuits. Therefore, I aim to consider the experience of Utopia Basket in Ecuador. To gather the data, I conducted ethnographic methods, such as observant participation and in-depth interviews between 2014 and 2016. I argue that Utopia Basket consumers have a different profile to other initiatives of agroecological product consumption – mainly targeted at the middle class – and that they are a group of consumers initially from a neighborhood on the outskirts of Riobamba, a town in Ecuador, with ties and links of proximity related to Ecclesial Base Communities (CEBs). They have undergone communitarian formation processes on agroecological food as a right, not a privilege. In addition, they advocate and exercise the need for reconnecting with indigenous-peasant practices and communities. I found that Utopia Basket consumers have played the role of articulating and driving the formation of intercultural solidarity economic circuits.

跨文化经济团结回路:以厄瓜多尔郊区的 Utopia Basket 和参与型消费者形象为例

本文的目的是分析 Utopia Basket 的消费者在跨文化经济团结回路的组织中的作用。因此,我打算考虑在厄瓜多尔的Utopia Basket 体验。为了收集数据,我在 2014 年至 2016 年间进行了观察性参与和深度访谈等人种学方法。我认为,Utopia Basket 消费者与其他农业生态产品消费举措(主要针对中产阶级)有着不同的特征,并且他们是一群消费者,最初来自厄瓜多尔小镇里奥班巴郊区的一个社区,与教会基地社区 (CEB) 有着密切的联系和联系。他们在农业生态食品方面经历了社区形成过程,这是一项权利,而不是特权。此外,他们倡导并行使与土著农民做法和社区重新联系的必要性。我发现 Utopia Basket 的消费者起到了连接和推动跨文化团结经济回路形成的作用。
