A questão agrária no ensino médio: um estudo sobre a soberania alimentar em livros didáticos de uma escola em Delmiro Gouveia/AL

Abstract

Reflection on food sovereignty in Brazil imposes a disturbing revelation: despite the fact that the country is a food producer and exporter, it has a screaming population of undernourished people, evidencing an unequal and contradictory practice. The power of the large corporations that control food production has grown enormously with the redefinition of the role of the State due to neoliberal policies. However, it is not with the elimination of hunger and the provision of nutritious food, but with the reproduction of capital. Reflecting on how food reaches the citizen's table, we go through some questions that are not always clarified in our daily lives, especially at school. Taking into account the importance of knowledge that is socialized in the classroom, or through teaching, this work has the general objective of analyzing food Sovereignty and how it is conveyed in the textbook of the final phase of Basic Education. The present work was structured from a bibliographic review on food sovereignty in Brazil, in addition to an appreciation and approach to the contents that textbooks offer for class study. As a final result, after reviewing the textbooks, it was found that there was a lack of critical approach to certain subjects and/or lack of in-depth analysis of relevant content of the agrarian issue, revealing a negligence with the contradictions of capitalism in the countryside.
