Os dados analisados aqui foram coletados por meio de uma pesquisa de opinião pública realizada entre os meses de novembro e dezembro de 2020, por meio de coleta telefônica, junto à amostra representativa da população brasileira. Esta pesquisa foi coordenada pelo Grupo de Pesquisa Alimento para Justiça: Poder, Política e Desigualdades Alimentares na Bioeconomia, da Freie Universität Berlin (Alemanha), em parceria com pesquisadoras/es da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG) e Universidade de Brasília (UnB). Os resultados demonstram que 59% dos domicílios entrevistados estavam em situação de insegurança alimentar durante a pandemia e parte significativa deles diminuiu o consumo de alimentos importantes para a dieta regular da população - 44% reduziram o consumo de carnes e 41% o consumo de frutas. Assim, os dados coletados corroboram informações anteriores da Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílio que indicavam o aumento da insegurança alimentar no Brasil nos anos de 2017/2018 em relação aos padrões anteriores, de 2013. Conclui-se que as instabilidades socioeconômicas geradas pelas crises política e econômica vividas nos últimos anos no país agravaram-se com a pandemia da Covid-19, acentuando as desigualdades alimentares entre uma parcela da população brasileira, sobretudo, quanto ao acesso a alimentos de forma regular e em quantidade e qualidade satisfatórias.; This working paper analyzes the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on food security and food consumption in Brazil. The data was collected between November and December 2020 through a public opinion survey conducted by telephone with a representative sample of the Brazilian population. This data collection was coordinated by the Research Group Food for Justice: Power, Politics and Food Inequalities in the Bioeconomy, of the Freie Universität Berlin (Germany), jointly with researchers from the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG) and the Universidade de Brasília (UnB). The results show that 59% of the inquired households are in a situation of food insecurity during the pandemic, and that a significant part of the respondents reduced the consumption of food items important for their regular diets; 44% reduced meat and 41% reduced fruit consumption. Thus, the data collected confirms the previous findings by the National Research for Sample of Domicile (Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílio) that indicated an increase in food insecurity in Brazil in the years 2017 and 2018 compared to the previous standards from 2013. In conclusion, the socioeconomic instabilities caused by the political and economic crises in recent years have worsened with the Covid-19 pandemic, reinforcing food inequalities for a large portion of the Brazilian population, especially regarding access to food on a regular basis in a sufficient quantity and quality. 2022-01-01T00:00:00Z https://refubium.fu-berlin.de/handle/fub188/32086 Food for Justice: Power, Politics, and Food Inequalities in a Bioeconomy Motta, Renata The Junior Research Group Food for Justice examines normative questions of inequalities, justice, and democracy that arise in disputes surrounding the question “how are we going to feed the world?”. Increasingly, citizens perceive the global food system as part of the historical causes of the ecological crisis and persisting hunger in the world. Although the reasons for these causal links have long been known (the use of food for profit, the gap between production and consumption, conflicts over land and water, exploitative labour relations, the energy matrix and waste generation, among others), research on food security and the bioeconomy tend to rely on the same solutions i.e searching for technological fixes toward a profit-oriented model that exploits living matter. What is needed in order to complexify the debate and contribute to socio-environmental transformation is more knowledge about which food system citizens desire, which alternative knowledges and technologies already successfully handle such claims for justice within food politics, and how to redirect public policies towards a democratic, ecological and just food system. Combining theoretical perspectives on global entangled inequalities with social movement research, Food for Justice looks at challenges and solutions both in Europe (focusing on Germany) and in Latin America (focusing on Brazil). The research consists, on one hand, of case studies of social mobilization targeting injustices in the food system and, on the other, case studies of alternative food initiatives, knowledges and technologies, such as agroecology and alternative food networks. Food for Justice aims at providing a theoretical and conceptual framework – grounded on empirical research – to analyse social and political projects that address inequalities based on class, gender, race, ethnicity, rurality, citizenship, and categorical divisions between humans and more-than-humans, thus building democratic, ecological and just food politics. 2021-01-01T00:00:00Z https://refubium.fu-berlin.de/handle/fub188/31616 How to harvest in a pandemic? Küppers, Carolin Motta, Renata; Meinecke, Madalena; Teixeira, Marco Antonio The COVID-19 pandemic has widely been discussed as a crisis that impacts daily life on a global scale, including food security, global supply chains, consumer behaviour and nutrition. In this crisis, providing food became an even more essential service, agricultural work became an essential activity, and with this, farm workers became so-called essential workers. In Germany, this topic was broadly taken up by local and national newspapers. Due to immense media interest during the first lockdown, the working conditions in the food sector and especially the marginalized status of farmworkers were rendered visible to a broader public. This paper analyses the discourses and how food production in times of the pandemic affects pre-existing workers‘ inequalities and lack of workers’ rights, revealing migrant workers as one of the most vulnerable groups in the German food system. It concludes by demonstrating that the mechanisms of Covid-19, which have been exacerbating existing inequalities in the food sector during the pandemic, are part of a structural socio-economic and socio-political crisis that must be regarded in the context of global capitalism and intersectional inequalities. 2021-01-01T00:00:00Z https://refubium.fu-berlin.de/handle/fub188/34012.2 Marcha das Margaridas 2019: alimentação, mobilização social e feminismos Teixeira, Marco Antonio; Motta, Renata; Rennó, Lúcio; Zentgraf, Lea; Galindo, Eryka Este trabalho apresenta os dados coletados na pesquisa Marcha das Margaridas 2019: alimentação, mobilização social e feminismos, realizada nos dias 13 e 14 de agosto de 2019 pelo Grupo de Pesquisa Alimento para Justiça: Poder, Política e Desigualdades Alimentares na Bioeconomia (Food for Justice: Power, Politics, and Food Inequalities in a Bioeconomy), sediado no Instituto de Estudos Latino-Americanos da Freie Universtität Berlin. A presente pesquisa objetivou entender a composição social e a percepção das ativistas sobre os temas alimentação, mobilização social e feminismos. Os resultados revelam que as ativistas que marcharam em Brasília na 6ª edição da Marcha das Margaridas, em 2019, são majoritariamente mulheres pretas e pardas, católicas, com ensino médio completo ou superior incompleto, residentes em domicílios com média de quase 4,7 moradores, nos quais elas são majoritariamente responsáveis pelo trabalho doméstico. São oriundas principalmente do Nordeste, com renda per capita inferior a um salário-mínimo e vindas de áreas rurais, embora haja significativa presença de mulheres urbanas entre as participantes. A maioria delas também se reconhecem como feministas e se posicionam em favor de direitos das mulheres, das populações negras, LGBTQI+ e pautas ambientais, embora haja controvérsias sobre temas importantes ao movimento feminista, como a legalização do aborto. Os resultados também revelam a importância do trabalho das mulheres na produção, comercialização e consumo de alimentos e no desenvolvimento de práticas agroecológicas.; This paper presents data collected from the survey Marcha das Margaridas 2019: food, social mobilization, and feminisms, conducted on August 13-14, 2019 by the Research Group Food for Justice: Power, Politics, and Food Inequalities in a Bioeconomy, based at the Institute for Latin American Studies at the Freie Universtität Berlin. The survey aimed to understand the social composition and perceptions of activists on the topics of food, social mobilization, and feminisms. The results reveal that the activists who marched in Brasília in the 6th edition of the Marcha das Margaridas in 2019 are mostly black [pretas] and brown [pardas]1, Catholic, with complete or incomplete high school education, residing in households with an average of almost 4.7 residents, in which they are mostly responsible for domestic work. They come mainly from the Northeast, with a per capita income of less than one minimum wage, and from rural areas, although there is a significant presence of urban women among the participants. Most of them recognize themselves as feminists and position themselves in favor of women’s rights, black populations, LGBTQI+, and environmental agendas. Nevertheless, there are controversies about important issues for the feminist movement, such as the legalization of abortion. The results also reveal the importance of women’s work in the production, commercialization and consumption of food, and in the development of agroecological practices. 1 We used a literal translation of the terms black (preto) and brown (pardo) in English because the term BIPoC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) is not very common in the Brazilian context. 2021-01-01T00:00:00Z
