Abstract

This article examines the concept of food security. It argues that the strategy should include not only food access but agricultural production. At the same time food security and food sovereignity are two concepts that should go hand by hand. Thus the meaning of a food policy in a time of crisis ought to rearticulate the production issue with that of the reintegration of social aspects in rural areas.// Este artículo revisa el concepto de seguridad alimentaria. A partir de éste sugiere que es necesario considerar tanto la producción como el acceso a los alimentos como parte de una misma estrategia. Esto requiere implicar y al mismo tiempo fortalecer las capacidades nacionales, regionales y de las comunidades locales, priorizar el potencial de las comunidades, los agricultores y los ciudadanos de construir y apropiarse de las políticas alimentarias y de manera señalada la promoción a redes locales y regionales de productores de alimentos y consumidores. Argumenta que el propósito de entrecruzar en vez de confrontar el discurso de la seguridad alimentaria y de la soberanía es una de las vías para avanzar en la discusión. Asimismo, argumenta que el significado de una política alimentaria en tiempos de crisis parte de la necesidad de enfrentar la desarticulación productiva y la desintegración social prevalecientes en el medio rural con una estrategia de reconstrucción institucional basada en la autonomía de los habitantes rurales y en una dinámica de intervenciones estatales a partir de una elaboración institucional inteligente capaz de aprender y adaptarse a las situaciones heterogéneas y cambiantes en el ámbito rural.
