  Los circuitos económicos solidarios interculturales (CESI) en el Ecuador son espacios de relación social que van más allá de lo económico. Promueven la satisfacción de las necesidades fundamentales, la reproducción ampliada del trabajo y la relación armónica con la naturaleza. Sus acciones se basan en la Economía Social y Solidaria (ESS) y están vinculadas al territorio, entendido este como el resultado de una «construcción social». La investigación es analítica, estudia los factores que permiten la constitución de los CESI con la experiencia de BioVida, determinando que son la articulación de los actores de la ESS y la interculturalidad.

  The intercultural solidarity economic circuits (CESI) in Ecuador are spaces for relationships that go beyond the economic, as an alternative practice to the conventional economic model. Their forms of relationship promote a development centered on people and nature. They promote the articulation of the supportive actors in the territories, the satisfaction of fundamental needs, the expanded reproduction of work and the ontological relationship with nature. The actions of the CESIs are based on the Social and Solidarity Economy and are linked to the territory, understood as the result of a “social construction”. The strategies used by the circuits are based on the articulation of the actors that promote new social relations of production, sharing knowledge, practices and experiences. In this sense, the research is analytical, which studies the factors that allow the constitution of the CESI through the experience of the BioVida organization. It is determined that the articulation of the ESS actors and interculturality promote the formation of the CESI where the social bond, the generation of work, solidarity finances and political incidence in the territory are strengthened.
