This book explores the agrifood system transitions in Brazil to
provide a new understanding of the trajectory of agriculture and
rural development in this country. It accentuates the increasing
diversifi cation and hybridization of food production and
consumption practices throughout history. With a framework that
combines convention theory, neoinstitutional approaches and
practice theory, this book suggests the concept of "food orders"
which represents different arrangements of practices, institutions
and sociotechnical artifacts. By exploring the interrelations
between these elements, the book looks at six different food
orders: industrial, commercial, domestic, aesthetic, civic and fi
nancial, in tandem with examples of practices, sectors and
territories to understand the dynamics of each one. This aids in
understanding the main tendencies of the agrifood sector in such a
vast country that, being a major player in global food markets,
also affect production and consumption dynamics in several other
countries. Besides, this book also seeks to comprehend the current
institutional changes in Brazil that may be critical to interpret
the global dissemination of populist and autocratic governments.
Offering key insights into the contemporary sociology of
agriculture and food, this book demonstrates how strengthening
democracy and supporting the organization of civil society are
major challenges when we think about transition for sustainable
food systems.
