This book, the pavements we walk on, a cell phone: everything we access is there thanks to an infrastructural network of services, objects, rules, energy and people. It also happens with food: there is a food infrastructure for its production, circulation, consumption and disposal deployed around us. We often don't notice it exists until it fails. And so far this century, this infrastructure has been on the verge of collapse. Both the pandemic and food price inflation has increased food insecurity, which is visible through examples such as oil prices in a neighborhood store or ollas comunes (”communal cooking pots”) as a community response. This book brings together an international and multidisciplinary group of researchers working on these issues. It invites the reader to participate in an informed conversation about how cities feed their inhabitants today.
Texts and discussions by: Martín Arboleda, Paz Concha Méndez, Francisca Magnani Orellana, Stephanie Madrid Solorza, Eduardo Osterling Dankers, Javiera Ponce Méndez, Nicolás Valenzuela Levi, Ana Zazo Moratalla
