In Ecuador, short food supply chains are developing under the impetus of the State and civil society organizations concerned with the promotion of marginalized family farming. This paper uses the Sustainable Livelihoods Framework to shed light on the effects on small scale farmers of their participation in a weekly fair of direct sales to consumers in Quito. It shows that this participation entails, directly and indirectly, a strengthening of many of their assets, which in turn leads to an improvement in living conditions and productive resources.
