Abstract

In recent years, several countries have been talking about the paths of the market, the economy, natural resources and how the world population will feed itself. In the same way that globalization dictated the way of access, consumption and production in averticalized and global way, there is an urgency to modify and or even rescue a sustainable production and consumption from the strengthening of local culture. Given this context, this work aims to identify possible contributions of the analytical and conceptual contribution on sustainable food consumption and the agri-food system to the discussion in the local approach. The structure of the work is organized in four sections, the 1stsection brings the debate of the concept of food production and its process within rurality. The 2ndsection discusses sustainable consumption and its role in territorial development. In the 3rdsection, commercialization is analyzed and discussed, and finally, in the last section, possible contributions to local territorial development are discussed. In recent decades, the world population has been undergoing nutritional, epidemiological, demographic and technological transitions, which contributes to thechange in behavior and access to information. The choices for minimally processed and in natura foods, such as health promotion and disease prevention, guided by the Food Guide of the Brazilian Population (Guia Alimentar da População Brasileira, 2014), makes people be guided to prepare and consume food produced in their regions, strengthening local culture and development.
