This paper builds upon the discussion of the concept of innovation associated with environmental issues. The innovative capacity of the organization -ASOAPIA- is evaluated by defining criteria to analyze the impact of the social appropriation of environmental knowledge. The importance of this approach resides in the possibility offered by the comprehension and understanding of a territory and the ability to propose a relaunching of the creative capacity of the cooperatives.

Keywords : Innovation; Appropriation; Environmental Knowledge; Specialty Coffee; Solidarity Economy; Sustainability and Territory.
