Podrobné informace

Drawing on a range of case studies from across Latin America, this book highlights the ways that urbanization shapes the food systems that feed this region’s cities, approaching the problem of food in cities as a particularly urban problem.

Latin America is the most urbanized area in the world, with nearly eighty percent of the population living in cities, where rates of food and nutritional insecurity are persistently high, and where the social and spatial organization is characterized by inequality and segregation. The broader questions addressed in this volume are: How do the specific processes and dynamics of Latin American urbanization influence or shape food systems? How can urban food systems develop forms of governance that supports food security and sustainability? After a general introduction, this volume is organized in three main sections: territories, mobilities, and governance. The chapters consider how specific elements such as urban planning, zoning, migration, gentrification, informal settlements, logistics, retailers, wholesale markets and street vendors, among others, contribute to shaping how food is distributed, sold and bought in cities. Drawing on studies and theoretical approaches written by scholars and practitioners from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, and Mexico, this book provides a Latin American perspective on global discussions surrounding the role of cities in ensuring food access to urban populations.

This volume will be of great interest to students, scholars and policymakers interested in food systems, food studies, urban planning, sustainable urban development and Latin American studies.
