| Riassunto: | In times of health, economic, and political crises, food systems are exposed to
shocks and tensions that can compromise global food stability. The vulnerability of
these systems can disrupt supply chains and the livelihoods of family farmers,
exacerbating poverty and food insecurity in rural areas. In this context, the inclusion
of farmer families in institutional markets is seen as an effective risk management
strategy to minimize these impacts. However, several difficulties still limit farmers'
participation in these markets. Our study aimed to investigate the challenges faced
by family farming in accessing institutional markets and analyze their resilience
capacity in the face of shocks in a local food system. Our research considered two
final products. In the first, through a systematic review, we identified problems that
limit family farming's participation in institutional markets focused on school feeding
at a global level. In the second, through a cross-sectional study, we analyzed the
socioeconomic, production, and accessibility conditions to agricultural policies with
the food insecurity situation of family farmers located in the state of Rio Grande do
Norte. We made 132 phone calls to family farmers in the state, and food insecurity
was measured using the reduced Brazilian Scale of Food Insecurity (EBIA). From
the 37 studies included in our review, we identified that the most critical problems
with the acquisition of local food arise from the family farming sector, including food
production and marketing, and are exacerbated by factors such as lack of investment
and inefficient logistics. Regarding the findings of the second study, we identified
that the pandemic worsened the situation of food insecurity, especially among
women with low education and income. Regarding access to different family farming
initiatives, the food insecurity situation overlapped with these social protection
measures. This fact may be an indicative that these initiatives did not have enough
strength to curb food insecurity during the period of health, economic, and political
crisis, and therefore, the capacity to absorb shocks in the food system was insufficient. |
