O papel da comsaude na promoção de quintais produtivos como resistência à colonialidade alimentar e alternativa contracolonial

Abstract

This article aims to present the concept of the coloniality of power and how it is tied to food production, as well as to illustrate how so-called productive backyards serve as spaces of resistance against this power structure manifested in the monoculture agribusiness model. This research emphasizes the knowledge of the land and the counter-colonial practices present in these spaces. Drawing on references such as Walter Mignolo, Suely Messeder, and Antônio Bispo dos Santos (Nêgo Bispo), among others, the article provides a theoretical-analytical understanding of the subject. It analyzes the relationship and clash of perspectives regarding land and food production. The conclusion is that productive backyards represent an alternative to the dominant production model, promoting cultural diversity, food security, and the preservation of ancestral knowledge and practices related to food.
