Abstract:

The adoption of unsustainable economic development processes has contributed to a global crisis, in which the planet\'s biophysical limits have been exceeded, with several implications for natural systems, biodiversity and human health. This crisis further limits the access of a huge portion of the Brazilian and Latin American population, historically vulnerable, to basic citizen rights, such as the right to land and food, generating what can be considered a “crisis of crises”. This opinion article starts acknowledging significant setbacks in several public policies, in Brazil and Latin America, especially those aimed at reducing inequalities and promoting citizenship. It presents evidence that overcoming the “crisis of crises”, discussed throughout the text, needs to consider the adoption of food production, distribution and consumption models that are, at the same time, sustainable, sovereign and inclusive. It concludes with the idea that agroecology has immense potential to promote, in different parts of the country and Latin America, an economy that is regenerative,an ecological point of view, and distributive,a social point of view.
