Food Sovereignty, a therapeutic strategy for reclaiming health in the face of the agroindustrial extractivism thrust

ABSTRACT

Extractivism is spreading and diversifying, radically transforming the territories where it settles, as an expression of the thinking of both unsustainable modernity and colonialism. This has led us to an environmental-civilizational crisis with various expressions in different fields. Among these, we can find the tensions and challenges in the field of academic scientific knowledge. The present article describes and analyzes the contributions of Latin American Political Ecology and Collective Health, through the categories of Territory, Socio-Environmental Health and Food Sovereignty for the understanding of the health-diseasecare processes in current contexts.
