Food security in the Western Amazon:

One of the highlights and impacts of this book is the implementation of a task force to characterise, register and improve rural extension, scientific research and the availability of agroecology and organic production technologies for families from specific population groups, made up of traditional peoples and communities of rural and urban origin. The productivist logic of maximum profit generates socio-environmental impacts that can be seen in deforestation, compromised agro-biodiversity and organic production. With the slogan Real Food in the Countryside and in the City: for rights and food sovereignty, the book aims to highlight the socio-cultural dimensions of food and nutritional security in order to bring food production and consumption closer together; to build bridges between the urban and the rural; to value agro-biodiversity and organic production, in natura and regional foods, respect for black and indigenous ancestry, Africanity and the traditions of all traditional peoples and communities, the rescue of the identities, memories and food cultures of the population of Territories of Citizenship in the Western Amazon, specifically in Rondônia.
