\textbf{Abstract}
\begin{abstract}
\normalsize{
The alternative food networks are a response of civil society to hunger problem, economic and social inequality, and ecological degradation. The reconfiguration of links between rural and urban areas, coupled with production and consumption more aware of food under the right to adequate food, food sovereignty and governance; have allowed arise short food supply chains (SFSC). SFSC are forms of strategic collective action closely linked to the territory where they develop; there are several kind of these, according to the criteria analysed such as consumers or farmers perspectives (social viewpoint) or logistic systems (economic viewpoint). Farmers' markets, box schemes, social markets, urban gardens, among others, are types of the SFSC. The present communication have the objective to analyse coordination mechanisms adopted on SFSC. This study was non"=experimental, carried out mainly descriptively, but also causally. Furthermore, it was conducted in the geographical context of mainly two study scenarios:  SFSC in Córdoba (Spain) and  Bogotá (Colombia). First, the relevant literature was reviewed (technical books, technical reports, studies). The primary data collection was performed using personal interviews, which used a semi"=structured survey with open questions. In addition, observations were carried out at market's operation, from which data were recorded in a field book. The results showed that specific coordination mechanisms were adopted by each type of SFSC; food chains were centralised by one key actor or organisation. Contracts, Vendor"=managed inventory (VMI) and Common Replenishment Epoch (CRE) strategies were implemented as coordination mechanisms. The social networks and internet are some main factors for developing these processes. The development of these mechanisms have a main influence with territorial competitiveness and improvement of quality of life.}
