“…Fourth, to make local municipal food policy integrations stronger and more impactful, it would be desirable to resort to a food sovereignty plan at the local level by applying a decision support system (DSS) (Stella et al, 2019), whose outputs can be used to coordinate the stakeholders involved in the food supply, to build a food production system capable of increasing the resilience of the territory and experimenting with paths of "food sovereignty".…”

In recent years, the scientific community has focused more on urban food policies adopted by big cities and less on the local food policies adopted by small municipalities. Furthermore, the empirical evidence on school food policy initiatives is quite fragmented, and the management of the canteen service is not directly addressed by the studies carried out. In this work, the school food policy implemented in a small municipality (Corciano in the province of Perugia, Centre Italy) of about 22,000 inhabitants, through the application of project financing with the participation of local social cooperatives is presented and discussed. This paper aims to reflect on the capability of the alternative food networks developed through the project financing mechanism to identify and implement the uses of the resources concerning the local food policy objectives and the project capacity of the network. The analysis is conducted using a methodological approach based on agricultural economics and anthropology. Results from economic data analysis, collective interviews, and participant observation show that: the financial balance of the project financing is positive but quite precarious and very sensitive to market variations, both regarding the overall demand for canteen meals, and the procurement of raw materials and workforce; the project’s organizational model through a local network not only can combine the environmental, social, and health dimensions of food, but it can also reshape the local concept of community, as well as new opportunities for the circulation of food products.

The contemporary Information and Communication Technologies and always faster means of transport facilitate the interconnection among the humans on Earth as never before. There is the awareness that every human is a node of a giant network, which is the humanity on Earth. A problem in a community might easily become a global issue and involve everyone living on the planet Earth. A challenge in a specific sector can have repercussions in other areas. If humanity wants to face global challenges more easily, it is necessary that higher education prepares not only specialists but also generalists. This work proposes a strategy to form a new generation of generalists. Our strategy is based on teaching the science of Complex Systems. Complexity Science prepares a class of generalists who have the necessary knowledge and thinking skills to face any global challenge of this century.

“…Además, las corporaciones toman el control de lo que probablemente sea el bien común más importante en el campo de la producción de alimentos: el suelo. El acaparamiento de tierras está impulsado, entre otras cosas, por las políticas comerciales, energéticas y climáticas de los países más desarrollados y estos sirven a los intereses lucrativos del agronegocio y del capital financiero en busca de oportunidades de inversión (Stella, et al, 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.
