Abstract

This article presents a meta-analysis of community experiences in the municipalities of Choix and El Fuerte, Sinaloa, focused on the revaluation of territory, indigenous autonomy, and food sovereignty. Fifty case studies and secondary sources from 2010 to 2024 were systematized. Through comparative matrices, thematic coding, and impact indicator analysis, common success elements were identified, such as community organization, the recovery of traditional knowledge, and technical-cultural support. The study confirms that territorial initiatives with an intercultural approach generate sustainable impacts when grounded in identity, local participation, and a long-term vision.
