DIREITO À SEGURANÇA ALIMENTAR SOB A LUZ DE MOVIMENTOS SOCIAIS AGROECOLÓGICOS: PERSPECTIVAS DECOLONIAIS PARA A REALIZAÇÃO DA SOBERANIA ALIMENTAR NO BRASIL
THE FOOD SECURITY LAW BY THE AGROECOLOGY SOCIAL MOVEMENTS: DECOLONIAL PERSPECTIVES UP TO THE FOOD SOVEREIGNTY ACCOMPLISHMENT IN BRAZIL
Abstract
The agri-food production pattern established in Brazil, based on export-oriented monocultures using pesticides and transgenics, may be contributing to feed back the existing coloniality here, due to following the hegemonic interests of Social North. It so happens that this agricultural pattern has made it difficult to achieve food sovereignty and the right to food security. In addition, it has caused poor distribution and concentration of food in the upper classes, food waste throughout the production chain and the most diverse socio-environmental impacts, causing ways to overcome this coloniality paradigm, such as the agroecological social movements. In this context, this study has the central objective of understanding those limits and possibilities for the food sovereignty promotion in Brazil, from agroecological social movements focused on the right to food security. For that, the methodological trinomial is used, with a systemic-complex approach, bibliographic research procedure and abstract and file techniques. It is concluded that agroecological social movements constitute viable alternatives to liberation from coloniality that affects Brazil and they may effectively generate an emancipatory process towards the desired food sovereignty. However, they come up against some obstacles, such as the law essence, the challenges generated by the capital financialization, reductionist tendencies on education and knowledge and the very issue of the hyperconsumption’s capitalist society.
