Abstract

This volume has been coordinated by Dr. Ana Laura Bojórquez-Carrillo and Dr. Anel Flores-Novelo, professors and researchers of the Cuerpo Académico Mercadotecnia, Innovación, y Desarrollo (MID) at the Facultad de Contaduría y Administración (FCA) of the Universidad Autónoma de Yucatán (UADY), México in collaboration with the Academia Mexicana de Investigación y Docencia en Innovación (AMIDI).

The articles published in this issue are the result of work conducted within the framework of the  Agro-Food Trade Corridor for Popular and Solidarity Commerce in the Milpa and Biocultural Regions of Puuc in Yucatán Project (No. 321286), under the Programa Nacional Estratégico de Seguridad Alimentaria (PRONAII), led by the Intermunicipal Biocultural Board of the Puuc and funded by the Consejo Nacional de Humanidades, Ciencias y Tecnologías (CONAHCYT).

This initiative has benefited from the support of the Red de Investigación en Negocios, Innovación y Economía para el Desarrollo (RINIED), integrated by the Cuerpo Académico en Consolidación de Mercadotecnia, Innovación y Desarrollo (UADY-CA-125), the Cuerpo Académico Consolidado Economía, Sustentabilidad y Nanotecnología (UAZ-CA-251), the Cuerpo Académico en Consolidación Estudios Estratégicos para Negocios e Instituciones (UJAT-CA- 234), the Cuerpo Académico en Formación Creatividad, Innovación y Emprendimiento (UACJ-CA-120). These collaborations have been essential in generating the academic outputs presented in this issue.

The topics addressed in this volume are based on the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the principles of innovation in products, processes, organization, and marketing outlined in the Oslo Manual, developed by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

Higher education institutions play a key role in fostering positive changes that contribute to achieving the SDGs and promoting innovation within organizations. This volume primarily focuses on issues related to food security, access to water, and promoting social and sustainable entrepreneurship.

It highlights the need for joint efforts involving citizen participation, governments, civil society organizations, and higher education institutions to tackle complex challenges and resolve issues arising in these areas, especially in rural zones and among the most vulnerable groups still lacking equitable access to resources and opportunities.

This work represents a clear example of how universities contribute to solving social problems, reaffirming their commitment to sustainable development and the well-being of communities.

We extend our gratitude to AMIDI for the opportunity to publish and disseminate these results, and we look forward to continuing to collaborate on initiatives that improve the quality of life for society as a whole.
