Abstract

This article offers structural definition and comparison of national food social protection systems (SNPSA) in France and Brazil by applying Théret’s (1997) description of social protection systems to the food sector. We describe SNPSA as a mediating force between economic, political, and reproductive orders in the face of the joint commodification of land and food. The analysis shows that the two countries represent two opposing ideal types through an examination of the frameworks mobilized in the formulation of public policies, by combining inductive and structural analysis. France represents a historically weak alliance between the reproductive and political spheres in terms of access to food, whereas in Brazil this constitutes a key basis for legitimizing the actions of the federal government. We explain these differences based on the synchronies and asynchronies of popular and rural social movements.
