Spanish term

relaciones comunitarias y solidarias, por relaciones mercantiles y competitivas

Spanish to English Social Sciences Agriculture rural societies
Can anyone help with the following please. It comes from a manual on the initiatives being introduced to conserve the biodiversity of rural communities. I would like the phrase to be as naturally sounding and unwieldy as possible.

Para ello, es necesario definir en primer lugar, qué acciones en el territorio constituyen una barrera para el desarrollo de los procesos comunitarios, ya sea por la deslocalización y desarraigo de la población, la transformación de las relaciones comunitarias y solidarias, por relaciones mercantiles y competitivas o la destrucción de espacios y/o situaciones tradicionales de encuentro, diálogo, e intercambio.

My first attempt:

To achieve this, it is appropriate first of all to define which actions at the local level constitute a barrier for the development of community processes, whether due to the displacement and uprooting of rural communities, the transformation of community and trust-based relations into relationships of trade and competition, or the destruction of spaces and/ or traditional platforms for meetings, dialogue and the exchange of ideas.

(transforming) trust-based communities into competitive marketplaces

I think your suggestion is on the right lines, except you can say it more concisely and without repeating "relation".
Note from asker:
