Presentación del Dossier. Pensando y mapeando circuitos socioeconómicos alimentarios para “Otra economía”

Abstract

This dossier proposes to address the food problem in a critical and comprehensive manner, focusing both on the analysis of territorial experiences of these circuits, and on their potential to improve, at the same time, both the population's access to food, as well as the socioeconomic conditions of family and peasant agriculture, food cooperatives, associative ventures, marketing networks, or solidarity and consumer intermediation organizations. The difficulty in accessing food for a growing part of the population is a complex problem that we face as humanity and especially in our region of Latin America and the Caribbean. In the case of Argentina, the food issue such as insufficient food access or malnutrition has been present for decades, but it deepens to a greater extent after each of the stages of neoliberal hegemony in recent decades.
