Cooperazione internazionale e questione agroalimentare

[Machine translation] The chapter analyzes the evolution of approaches and agendas of international cooperation in relation to the issue of food, reconstructing the main stages from the original policies of agricultural modernization; the fight against hunger and the transformation of the concept, and therefore of policies, of food security; the debate on rural development to contemporary trends that range from the reformulation of traditional approaches to the promotion of alternative visions and practices. , In particular, with regard to contemporary debates, we review the agendas of cooperation within the framework of the new green revolutions based on biotechnology, digitalization and hi-tech agriculture; the Agriculture-climate link and the debate around climate-intelligent agriculture and the currents of action in the field of mitigation and adaptation; alternative visions and practices of cooperation (investigated by critical agrarian studies and political ecology) linked to the promotion of ecological transition and the strengthening of peasant and indigenous family agriculture, in a framework of food sovereignty; food studies and their recognition of the complexity of the issue of food (in terms of actors, territorial scales, components ranging from production to recycling) which affects the definition of more ambitious agendas for cooperation, which look at the rural-urban links, the different stages of which supply chains and the interaction between them are made up (overcoming the approach of value chains) and aim at promoting food policies territorial. , The chapter discusses the transformation of concepts and approaches with concrete priorities and practices in the agro-food cooperation agenda and seeks to explore its specificities based on the main actors (global governance, multilateral organizations, NGOs, transnational movements, etc.) and its heterogeneous geographies (North-South; South-South; decentralized)., Consistent with the geographical perspective that characterizes the volume, particular emphasis is placed on the effects that the different approaches to food security and sovereignty have had in terms of the multiscalar reconfiguration of food systems, between globalizing trends and practices of relocation.
