Abstract: [ES] Buscamos reconocer con enfoque de escalamiento vertical (arreglos de actores e instituciones) y profundo (pragmatismo y apropiación) los elementos detonadores de cambio sistémico como evidencia empírica de las relaciones entre actores mediante el Análisis de Redes Sociales. Mediante el estudio de casos con productores del centro de México encontramos que la gestión del capital relacional es clave en el escalamiento de innovaciones agrícolas, siendo las fuerzas del mercado y la presencia de actores articuladores dos elementos que dinamizan la red y orientan la innovación. El entorno comercial y de políticas públicas agrícolas y sociales moldean el potencial de escalamiento. [EN] We seek to recognize, from an up-deep scaling approach (arrangements of actors and institutions, pragmatism, and appropriation), the triggering elements of systemic change as empirical evidence of the relationships between actors through Social Network Analysis. Through case studies with farmers in the central region of Mexico, we found that the management of relational capital is key in the scaling of agricultural innovations; where market and the presence of articulating actors are two elements that energize the network and oriented the innovation. The commercial, agricultural and social public policy environment shape the potential for scaling up.
