An Imperceptible Growth: Healthy Food and Transformative Solidarity

It is well known that COVID-19 has exacerbated an already precarious food and nutrition
situation in many countries.

Amid the crisis, in addition to documenting state violations committed either
through their actions or by omitting their obligations, we have also compiled social
organizations’ initiatives that seek to promote solidarity and a sense of community
in moments of hunger and concern. In our view, these initiatives are ways
of reaffirming human dignity, peoples’ sovereignty, and their capacity to persevere
in the face of adversity. This article intends to reflect more in depth on some of theself-managed initiatives that have emerged in two Latin American countries: Ecuador
and Brazil.
