Food production, distribution and consumption are inserted in contexts mediated by social hierarchies, political and economic contexts, cultural meanings and standardised symbolic relationships, as well as forms of relationship and\/or exploitation with the environment. This line of research focuses mainly on (1) Long chains of industrial food supply and the experience of grassroots workers. Often inserted in a context of structural vulnerability these workers, often racialized and sometimes illegalized migrants, receive in their body and in their mental health the consequences of an extractivist system; (2) The study of the relations between humans and the environment, and the options to alleviate the metabolic gap and the conditions of labor exploitation (such as agroecology).<\/p>\n
