Soybean Production Between Agri-food Globalization And Food Security Challenges: The Case Of Brazil
Auteurs : Boudada Dounya .
Résumé
The study investigates the repercussions of the globalization of soybean production and trade on food security and its environmental and social dimensions in Brazil. To achieve this objective, the study employs a descriptive-analytical method. The study concludes that the globalization of soybean production has negatively affected food security in Brazil. Despite increased production and exports and an overall decline in poverty rates, these developments have come at the expense of the local food system and the social conditions of farmers. Soybean production has also had negative environmental effects, particularly on land use and deforestation.
