Abstract
Este estudio propone un plan de acción orientado a fortalecer la agregación de valor de los (PFNM) en seis comunas de la Reserva de Biósfera “Corredor Biológico Nevados de Chillán–Laguna del Laja”, en la Región de Ñuble, Chile. Se aplicó una metodología mixta que incluyó revisión bibliográfica, encuestas estructuradas, talleres participativos y mapeos participativos, lo que permitió identificar recolectores locales, especies nativas y zonas de recolección. La investigación también exploró las percepciones, experiencias emocionales y aprendizajes de los recolectores en relación con esta actividad. Los resultados indican que la recolección de PFNM es una práctica con raíces culturales que podría aportar al desarrollo económico local y a la gestión ambiental, aunque enfrenta desafíos como una organización limitada, escaso acceso a capacitación y dificultades de inserción en los mercados. A partir de estos hallazgos, se elaboró un plan de acción gradual que busca apoyar las capacidades locales, fomentar la comercialización y contribuir al desarrollo sustentable del territorio. El estudio sugiere que, bajo condiciones adecuadas, los PFNM podrían constituir un complemento relevante para los medios de vida rurales y los esfuerzos de conservación ambiental.
This study proposes an action plan aimed at enhancing the value of Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) in six municipalities within the Biosphere Reserve “Corredor Biológico Nevados de Chillán–Laguna del Laja” in the Ñuble Region, Chile. A mixed-methods approach was applied, including bibliographic review, structured surveys, participatory workshops, and participatory mapping, which allowed for the identification of local gatherers, native species, and areas of collection. The research also explored the perceptions, emotional experiences, and learning processes of gatherers in relation to this activity. The findings indicate that NTFP harvesting is a culturally rooted practice with potential contributions to local economies and environmental management, though it faces several challenges, including limited organization, access to training, and market opportunities. Based on the results, a stepwise action plan was developed to support local capacities, promote commercialization, and contribute to sustainable territorial development. The study suggests that, under appropriate conditions, NTFPs may offer a meaningful complement to rural livelihoods and environmental conservation efforts.
