“…Village Produce is run by Wanda, who is a long-time community organizer in the neighborhood. Food justice organizations have been critiqued for being run by people from outside the community (Bradley & Herrera, 2016;Broad, 2016;Lindemann, 2019;Pendergrast, Smith, Liebert, & Benzer Kerr, 2019), but that is not the case with Village Produce. Wanda was active in the area, working toward community wellness, long before she established Village Produce's food justice agenda.…”

While the food justice movement was initially asso¬ciated with increasing availability of fresh produce in low-income communities of color through insti¬tutions such as farmers markets, scholars have cri¬tiqued this as imposing a right way of eating. Food justice scholarship has moved away from a focus on healthy eating toward a focus on community economic development, as food enterprises can stimulate job creation. This paper investigates the dual goals of the food justice movement through a case study in San Diego. While food justice has moved beyond promoting a love of produce and is increasingly oriented toward good jobs, for the urban gardeners in this study, the movement is still a lot about vegetables. They see food as medicine, and note the health benefits of moving toward a plant-based diet. Yet, they are reluctant to push this way of eating on others, as they do not want to come across as elitist. Instead, they spread aware¬ness that plant-based diets are an African tradition that should not just be associated with rich white folks. Rather than leading with nutrition, they lead with tradition, taste, and buying Black. To encour¬age consumption of vegetables, they aim to in¬crease the supply of prepared food options in the community, and to market dishes as delicious rather than healthy, all the while supporting Black food entrepreneurs. When selling produce direct to the consumer through farmers markets does not achieve their vision of promoting health or sup¬porting livelihoods, they re-imagine a strategy of promoting food justice through a neighborhood food supply chain.

“…Sin embargo, el término de Seguridad alimentaria no dice nada acerca de cómo y por quién se producen estos alimentos, quién los distribuye y consume. De este modo, oculta las condiciones de producción, el poder y las relaciones de gobierno, lo que puede llevar a políticas públicas de agricultura basada en monocultivos y ganadería industria, que a su vez contamina el suelo, el agua, daña el clima y necesita a los migrantes como trabajadores mal pagados y precarios; por lo tanto, la Seguridad alimentaria no garantiza el uso sostenible basado en el ciclo y cuidados de los recursos de forma constructiva de la agricultura (Pendergrast, Smith, Liebert, & Bezner Kerr, 2019).…”

El presente artículo contiene una perspectiva de la Soberanía alimentaria desde el Desarrollo local, donde el primer concepto complementa al desarrollo territorial indistinto a la escala que se maneje. Es muy imperativo que para evaluar las potencialidades del desarrollo local se tiene que emplear como pilar, el derecho a la alimentación, ya que este radica un problema sustancial y evidente en la actualidad a nivel mundial, este problema es la deficiencia nutricional. También se analiza que este metabolismo social puede ayudar a buscar una solución desde lo local a lo regional e incluso a lo global, complementándose los dos conceptos para el beneficio de la sociedad. El tipo de metodología que se utilizó consistió en una revisión sistemática de información actualizada en artículos académicos sobre Soberanía alimentaria y Desarrollo local, la cual fue consultada en bases especializadas como Scopus y Web of Science.
