Cardápios, paisagens e políticas no semiárido baiano. O abastecimento alimentar sob a ótica das interações entre sistemas alimentares e do acesso a alimentos com qualidade diferenciada

Abstract

Poetry and struggle are fundamental elements in guaranteeing Food and Nutritional Sovereignty and Security of Juazeiro‟s locality, situated in the semi-arid region of state of Bahia. This premise is used to treat culture as an element of synergy between distinct food systems and as a possibility of creative coexistence of local diversities. Thus, the research addresses the political spaces of the locality of Juazeiro such as cultural events, municipal councils, farmers' markets and also virtual networks to analyze the hybridism between politics and culture and the access to food with differentiated quality. The social participation in these spaces, the strategies of local actors that take place in the interactions between food systems and the valorization of culture are fundamental aspects for access to quality food. Thus, the phenomenon of the “gourmet quality” and the elitism of its access, both identified in the literature and also empirically at the researched area, gain other outlines and contours. We bet on the possibilities generated by the dissemination of ideas, practices and ways of thinking about food when culture is placed as an element that defines quality and promotes broader access to food. Finally, the research aims to contribute, in a more general way, to studies on food provisioning, tracing relationships between the constitution of food politics in the localities, the implementation of SSAN and the interactions between food systems.
