Description
Summary:This article offers a geographical analysis of rural town relations articulate to the studies on food justice in São Paulo. In a context where public policies are influenced by transitional paradigms, the issue of relocating food seems favorable to a revaluation of peri-urban agriculture. In São Paulo, emerging metropolis of a South country marked by strong socio-spatial polarization, the challenges of supply chain’s re-territorialisation deserve to be interviewed. They are in the same time socio-economic, health, symbolic and political. Our hypothesis is that peri-urban agriculture, little supported by public policies, nevertheless contributes to supplementing an unequal food system and to creating a "market food crop" which benefits above the poor inhabitants of the metropolis. Those disadvantaged populations live in urban fringes defined as food desert. They are particularly affected by nutritional diseases as diabetes and obesity caused by malnutrition.
