A perspectiva promissora da soberania alimentar para as políticas de desenvolvimento

Abstract

In this article we seek to review the concepts of food security and food sovereignty in order to analyze which of these concepts can be more effective as a guiding principle for development policies, considering the origins and outcomes of the definitions and how the strategies of each one can affect the right to adequate food and the socioeconomic conditions of the population. It was observed that the concept of food security has some affinity with the market dynamics, while food sovereignty opposes this structure and seeks to value family, agroecological and local businesses, which can provide national economic development for primary exporting countries such as Brazil.
