Core offering

Alianza para la Seguridad Alimentaria (ASA) is a non-profit coalition that coordinates food-system transformation in Baja California Sur through three programs: (1) Transiciones Agroecológicas, which supports agroecological transition with producers and local government; (2) Pérdida y Desperdicio de Alimentos (PDA), which reduces food loss and waste by channeling surplus food from hotels and restaurants to vulnerable communities; and (3) Banco de Alimentos Sudcaliforniano (BAMX), a regional food bank that recovers and redistributes food. The coalition additionally produces publications, events, and educational content on food security.

Products and services

• Transiciones Agroecológicas (Agroecological Transitions Program) A coordinated program that supports the agroecological transition of food production in Baja California Sur by working with agricultural producers and local government. It addresses sustainable production practices, market diversification, and alignment with food-security objectives. The offering is delivered as part of the coalition's broader non-profit mission rather than as a commercial service.
• Pérdida y Desperdicio de Alimentos (PDA) — Food Loss and Waste Program A program that reduces food loss and waste by collecting edible surplus from tourism and hospitality partners (hotels and restaurants) and channeling it to vulnerable communities. The offering coordinates donors, logistics, and beneficiary distribution to prevent edible food from being discarded while improving food access. It is delivered as a coalition-based, non-commercial program.
• Banco de Alimentos Sudcaliforniano (BAMX) — BCS Food Bank A regional food bank operating as part of the coalition, responsible for recovering, sorting, and redistributing food recovered through the PDA program and donor network to vulnerable communities in Baja California Sur. It functions as the operational arm for food redistribution and is funded through donations, grants, and sponsorships.

Scale indicators3 records

Emerging players

• Fondo para la Paz: Mexican foundation supporting rural community development including food security and sustainable agriculture in underserved regions — comparable size and community-coalition model.
• Slow Food Mexico: Mexican chapter of the global Slow Food movement, focused on sustainable food systems, agroecology, and biodiversity — a thematic peer to ASA's agroecological transitions program but more advocacy- and event-driven.

Broad incumbents

• World Food Programme (WFP) Mexico: UN agency focused on food security and nutrition in Mexico; operates at federal/policy scale on overlapping themes (nutrition, school feeding, resilience) where ASA works at the BCS state level with related programmatic tooling.
• FAO Mexico: UN Food and Agriculture Organization country office driving food systems, agroecology, and food loss/waste reduction in Mexico — overlaps substantively with ASA's three programs but at policy and technical-assistance scale.

Direct peers

• Un Kilo de Ayuda: Mexican NGO focused on nutrition and food security for vulnerable children and families; comparable size, coalition-style operations, and program overlap with ASA's BAMX and community food-security work.
• Heifer International Mexico: Global NGO operating in Mexico on sustainable agriculture, smallholder farmer transitions, and food system transformation — closely mirroring ASA's Transiciones Agroecológicas program and coalition-based delivery model.
• Save the Children Mexico: International NGO implementing food security, nutrition, and child-focused community programs across Mexico using partner coalitions — comparable size and operating model to ASA's BCS portfolio.
• Caritas de México: Mexican Catholic social services network running food assistance, community kitchens, and family support programs across BCS — directly comparable coalition-based food-security NGO serving overlapping vulnerable populations.
• Red BAMX (Banco de Alimentos de México): National umbrella network of Mexican food banks, of which ASA's BAMX Sudcaliforniano is a member. Operates the same food-recovery-and-redistribution model at scale across Mexico, sharing ASA's food-bank programmatic DNA.

Regional players

• Conservación Internacional México: Mexico office of global conservation NGO working on sustainable food systems, landscape management, and biodiversity in BCS-adjacent geographies; thematic overlap with ASA's sustainability and producer-transition programs.
