Public food procurement for sustainable food systems and healthy diets – Volume 1
Sustainable Public Food Procurement (PFP) represents a key game changer for food systems transformation. It can influence both food consumption and food production patterns. It can deliver multiple social, economic and environmental benefits towards sustainable food systems for healthy diets. This publication aims to contribute to the improved understanding, dissemination and use of PFP as a development tool in particular in the case of school meals programmes. In Volume 1, researchers, policymakers and development partners can find evidence on how PFP can be used as a development tool and deliver multiple benefits for multiple beneficiaries. It argues that PFP can provide a market for local and smallholder farmers, promote the conservation and sustainable use of agrobiodiversity, and improve the nutrition and health of children and communities. Volume 2 of this publication, available at https://doi.org/10.4060/cb7969en, presents further analysis of the instruments, enablers and barriers for PFP implementation. It also provides case studies with local, regional and national experiences from Africa, Asia, Europe and North and South America.

Agriculture's Energy
Thomas D. Rogers’s history of a modernizing Brazil tracks what happened when a key government program,created in the 1970s by the nation’s military regime, aspired to harness energy produced by sugarcane agriculture to power the country’s economy. The National Alcohol Program, known as Proálcool, was a deliberate economic strategy designed to incentivize ethanol production and reduce gasoline consumption. As Brazil’s capacity grew and as international oil shocks continued, the regime’s planners doubled down on Proálcool. Drawing financing from international lenders and curiosity from other oil-dependent countries, for a time it was the world’s largest oil-substitution and renew...
Sugar
There is more sugar in the world's diet than ever before, but life is far from sweet for the exploited producers making nature's 'white gold' and the unhealthy consumers eating it. Why has the billion-dollar sugar trade created such inequities? In this insightful analysis, Ben Richardson argues that the most compelling answers to this question can be found in the dynamics of global capitalism. Led by multinational companies, the mass consumption of sweetened snacks has taken hold in the Global South and underpinned a new wave of foreign investment in sugar production. The expansion of large-scale and highly-industrialised farms across Latin America, Asia and Africa has kept the price of suga...
Abastecimento alimentar
Esta obra trata do tema “abastecimento alimentar”, buscando enfatizar as redes alimentares alternativas que vêm se constituindo como um contramovimento ao sistema agroalimentar dominante. Os textos que a constituem envolvem pesquisas realizadas pelos organizadores e autores, os quais representam a Universidade Federal da Fronteira Sul (UFFS), a Universidade de Cabo Verde (Uni-CV) e a Universidad de la República Uruguay (Udelar), além de outras instituições brasileiras. A obra divide-se em três partes: a primeira introduz as discussões sobre a sustentabilidade do sistema alimentar, as formas alternativas de abastecimento e as políticas brasileiras para o setor; a segunda aborda os mercados institucionais, principalmente o caso do Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar e o do Programa de Aquisição de Alimentos, assim como experiências nesse sentido em Cabo Verde e no Uruguai; a terceira parte apresenta experiências brasileiras e uruguaias de redes alternativas de abastecimento alimentar e de consumo responsável e comercialização de produtos orgânicos/agroecológicos.
Arbeitskämpfe und Land Grabbing
Land Grabbing, die Industrialisierung der Landwirtschaft und damit einhergehende Konflikte um Land nehmen seit Mitte der 2000er Jahre stetig zu. Landarbeiter*innen sind zentrale Akteure in diesem Kontext, finden in der wissenschaftlichen und entwicklungspolitischen Debatte jedoch kaum Beachtung. Jan Brunner nimmt sich dieser Leerstelle an und erforscht in seiner Studie des Zuckerrohrsektors die Auswirkungen agrarindustrieller Transformationen auf Landarbeiter*innen im Bundesstaat São Paulo (Brasilien). Aus arbeitssoziologischer und klassentheoretischer Perspektive analysiert er, wie sich Arbeitsverhältnisse sowie Arbeitskämpfe verändern und welche Herausforderungen, aber auch Chancen sich dadurch für die Organisierung und Kämpfe von Landarbeiter*innen ergeben.
