The productive and food practices in rural space of western Santa Catarina: public action in the search for and critique of modernity

Abstract

uncertainties, "new" food and production practices emerged, and new actors began to build alternatives to modernity. The "new" production strategies consisted of food agro-industrialization, agroecological production, biodiversity restoration, creation of fairs, and the maintenance of production for self-consumption, supported by various actions and public policies. The same State that produces productive and food risks, threats and uncertainties, also contributes to food and nutritional security in the region.
