En el contexto, de la intensificacio?n de procesos de concentracio?n de la tierra y apropiacio?n privada de los recursos natura- les, asi? como del control de los sistemas agroalimentarios por parte de empresas transnacionales, el activismo campesino en la escala global ha lanzado en 1996 una consigna llamada “soberani?a alimentaria”. La soberani?a alimentaria –en tanto derecho– ha sido presentada como horizonte a ser alcanzado, pero a la vez designa un conjunto de experiencias ya en marcha en los distintos pai?ses. En este arti?culo de reflexio?n (tipo II) presentamos un ana?lisis de esta plataforma poli?tica, tomando los principales documentos emitidos en sus congresos internacionales por la alianza internacional de organizaciones que la esgrimen, y los acontecimientos histo?ricos que hacen a la trayectoria de la consigna. A partir de ello desplegamos un conjunto de interpreta- ciones acerca de la capacidad explicativa y la consistencia disruptiva que subyacen a la apuesta por la soberani?a alimentaria. La soberani?a alimentaria pretende operar tanto como enfoque anali?tico de la “cuestio?n agraria”, asi? como alternativa frente al despliegue de la agricultura capitalista como base material del paradigma civilizatorio industrial.
Abstract
In the context of the intensification of processes of concentration of land and private appropriation of natural resources and control of agro-alimentary systems by transnational companies, the peasant activism on a global scale in 1996 launched a slogan calling “food sovereignty”. Food sovereignty-as has been presented as right-horizon to be reached but also designates a set of experiences already in place in different countries. This article reflection (type II) present an analysis of the political platform, taking the main documents issued by the international congresses alliance of organizations that wield. From this, we deploy a set of interpretations about the explanatory power and consistency disruptive underlying commitment to food sovereignty. Food sovereignty seeks to operate both as an analytical approach “agrarian question” and deploying alternative to capitalist agriculture as the base material of the industrial civilization paradigm.
Resumo
No contexto da intensificac?a?o dos processos de concentrac?a?o de terra e apropriac?a?o privada dos recursos naturais, assim como o controle dos sistemas agro-alimentares por empresas transnacionais, o ativismo campone?s na escala global, em 1996, lanc?ou um slogan chamando “soberania alimentar”. A soberania alimentar tem sido apresentada como um horizonte a ser alcanc?ado, mas tambe?m se refere a um conjunto de experie?ncias ja? em curso em diferentes pai?ses. Neste artigo de reflexa?o (tipo II) apresenta-se uma ana?lise dessa plataforma poli?tica, tendo os principais documentos emitidos em seus congressos internacionais pela alianc?a internacional de organizac?o?es que a exercem, e os acontecimentos histo?ricos que fazem a trajeto?ria deste lema. A partir dele, implantaremos um conjunto de interpretac?o?es sobre a capacidade explicativa e a consiste?ncia pertur- badora subjacente a? aposta pela soberania alimentar. A soberania alimentar busca atuar tanto como uma abordagem anali?tica para a “questa?o agra?ria”, como alternativa para a implantac?a?o da agricultura capitalista como base material do paradigma da civilizac?a?o industrial.
