IV Congresso Internacional | «Soberania Alimentar»

Encontra-se aberta, até 20 de Novembro de 2022, a chamada para sessões do  IV Congresso Internacional (XI Encontro Rural RePort & XVIII Congreso de Historia Agraria), com organização da Rural RePort e SEHA (Sociedad de Estudios de Historia Agraria), dedicado ao tema «Soberania Alimentar - Dinâmicas de produção e abastecimento na longa duração», que decorrerá na Faculdade de Economia da Universidade de Coimbra nos dias 6, 7 e 8 de Setembro de 2023.

 

IV Congresso Internacional propõe-se discutir uma questão fundamental: como alimentar a população humana? Este é um assunto tão importante hoje, como foi no passado. Sendo o acesso a alimentos suficientes uma necessidade vital, como atingir este objetivo é desde sempre uma ambição central para a Humanidade. Enquanto desafio individual e coletivo, as soluções encontradas variaram conforme a época e o local. Este congresso visa contribuir para identificar e explicar essas soluções, promovendo interpretações ancoradas no conhecimento histórico acerca das dinâmicas de produção, transação, transformação, armazenamento e consumo de bens alimentares.
