“…The upland portions have more fragile soils with a coarse texture and low fertility than the lowland sections. Where in latter, soils were deeper with a higher percentage of clay and were fertile due to water flows in the watershed (Riou, 1990), and from a sociological view, village residents were sorted along the topography by inhabiting the uplands (Dufumier, 2004). Native vegetation areas are community property where the pastures and forests are used communally during the non-growing period, whereas cultivated land is managed privately during the crop production season (Poccard-Chapuis et al, 2007).…”

The resource base that ensures food supply and the socio-economic component which depends on this resource base are the two major components that make up the food system in sub-Saharan Africa. The sequence of the food system is organized in a spatial flow framework of biomass base. The components of rural production system consist of food production biomass at homestead and farm level, and often at the communal base non-food production lands. The degree of integration between these resources base determines flows such as material cycle, energy, food and cash, and influences how the entire production system needs to be managed. The management system influences resource use efficiency and economic returns at different levels, at individual household, communities, and national levels. Efforts to developing agriculture and reducing poverty remained sectoral and focused mainly on a specific crop or individual animal level, failed to see interconnections among sub-systems and across space and time. The concept of the integrated food system has not been adequately adopted, in many sub-Saharan African countries and the agricultural system in the region continues to exhibit a low level of productivity and resource use efficiency. Hence, food insecurity and poverty remained high among smallholder farming communities producing crop and livestock despite the availability of arable land and abundance of another natural resource. This review focuses on the significance of integrated crop-livestock system in the tropics and suggests a framework to begin understanding and addressing complex problems in smallholders' production system.

“…When all the conditions required for the externalisation of the yield potential of the new varieties were met, the result was often a significant increase in yields (Dufumier 2004;Cheyroux 2005;Devienne 2006). Strongly encouraged -and financed -by private foundations and Northern governments, from the Western Bloc in particular that saw in them a bastion against red revolutions in the context of the Cold War, green revolutions were imposed especially from the top, like so many advisory packages proposed to farmers.…”

“…Outro defensor da soberania alimentar, Marc Dufumier, em seus estudos de agricultura comparada [20] , insiste sobre os desgastes da agricultura industrial e produtivista e sobre as vantagens de uma agricultura familiar ou camponesa, cujos sistemas de produção são aqueles mais inspirados e próximos da agroecologia, conformando-se às exigências do desenvolvimento sustentável. Nesta medida, o autor conclui que a proteção tarifária de suas agriculturas é um direito essencial dos países, em particular os mais pobres, com vistas a oferecer vida e trabalho dignos, o que pressupõe a reconquista da soberania alimentar, pilar de um desenvolvimento sustentável.…”

A propagação da noção de soberania alimentar nos últimos anos leva a pensar nos pontos de vista em jogo no campo de debate sobre os problemas alimentares. Deste modo, é possível identificar que a polissemia em torno da noção de segurança alimentar deixa margem para ambivalências, o que provoca descontentamentos. É nestas circunstâncias que a defesa da soberania alimentar ganha terreno, noção favorável à diversidade das agriculturas do mundo e propícia ao reconhecimento de seus múltiplos papéis. Aqui, trata-se de uma releitura da evolução dos sentidos e das concorrências em torno da segurança alimentar a fim de evidenciar as razões que conduzem a construção da noção de soberania alimentar. Ademais, as estratégias de agricultores familiares brasileiros são examinadas em termos de perspectivas de soberania alimentar.Palavras-chave: segurança alimentar, agricultura familiar, desenvolvimento rural, multifuncionalidade e sustentabilidade da agricultura. Disagreements on food security and food sovereignty: a study of competitive perspectivesThe spread of the notion of food sovereignty in recent years has lead specialists to think through the related points of view regarding food problems. That is why, it is possible to identify that the polysemy around the notion of food security leaves space for ambivalence, provoking discontent. Under these circumstances, the defense of food sovereignty is gaining ground as a notion that supports agricultural diversity around the world and considers its multiple roles. Thus, this paper proposes the reinterpretation of the evolution of the meanings of food safety and its diversions, so as to bring to evidence the reasons that lead to the construction of the food sovereignty notion itself. Moreover, the strategies of Brazilian family-farmers are analyzed through the perspective of food sovereignty.
