The process of standardization within the dominant agrifood system is being accompanied by growing demand for differentiated high-quality food products that are environmentally sustainable. In this scenario, Alternative Food Networks (AFNs) could help the local agrifood sector and local or traditional variety crops regain their pivotal role. The objective of this paper is to assess the potential of AFNs in the metropolitan area of Granada and in the nearby mountain region of the Alpujarra in the promotion and distribution of local varieties of fruit and vegetables from this region. The research took the form of case studies in which the information was collected in semi-structured interviews with the AFNs and then subjected to content analysis. The results highlight that the socioenvironmental commitment of the AFNs is their strongest asset for the conservation, sale, and distribution of biodiverse local variety produce. However, these organizations still have very limited knowledge of local varieties and there are doubts as to their capacity to mobilize sufficient volumes of these products and successfully establish themselves in rural areas.

In this work a detailed analysis of the temporal evolution of the Almegíjar landslide is presented. It is a rock slide located in the Alpujarras region (Granada, Spain) that has developed over the last 30 years. Six datasets and photogrammetric flights corresponding to the years 1956, 1984, 1992, 2001, 2008, and 2010 were surveyed. The more recent flight of 2010 combined an aerial digital camera and a LiDAR sensor and was oriented by means of in-flight data and tie points. This 2010 flight allowed for the generation of a reliable and high-precision Digital Terrain Model (DTM). The other flights were oriented using second-order ground control points transferred from the 2010 flight, and the corresponding DTMs were prepared by automatic matching and subsequent editing from the stereoscopic models. After comparing the DTMs of different dates, it has been observed that the landslide was triggered after 1984 and since then has evolved in an irregular pattern with periods of variable activity. On average, the ground surface dropped more than 8 m in depleted zones and rose nearly 4 m in the accumulation zones, with a velocity catalogued as very slow (about 15–30 cm/year) over a time span corresponding to a degree VIII of diachroneity. The total volume of the mobilized mass of this large contemporary slide was about 300 × 103 m3. Full article
