Abstract

This article aims to analyze how social innovation initiatives promoted by the  Rural Community Education Center relate to the promotion of sustainable development through the application of the Mehmood and Parra’s model (2013). Therefore, we used a descriptive and exploratory study case. The results show that in social vulnerability, social needs are healed by the strengthening of civil society through the articulation of farmers to form associations and decreasing government welfare; regarding the economic viability, the initiative investigated provides significant improvement in family income enabling their participation in social representations and agroecology fairs; in environmental sustainability, the results demonstrated an improvement in the food quality of farmers and the awakening of their interests to environmental practices. Thus, it is concluded that the characteristics of social innovation developed by CECOR are related to the promotion of sustainable development at the local level.

Keywords: Social Innovation; Sustainable development; Social transformation; Social technology.
