PROJECT: AGROFOOD STANDARDS IN PERSPECTIVE: TRANSVERSALITY, CULTURE AND SOCIETY.

Several layers of analysis beyond plant health, animal health and food security interpenetrate and temper this act of survival, sometimes highly efficient in identifying the origin of human “being” and “being”. around 10,000 years ago the first cultivation and breeding systems appeared and even today around 80% of the farmers in Africa, in Asia and Latin America around 40 to 60% use manual instruments and less than 30% of animal traction despite of the development of modern agriculture (MAZOYER & ROUDART, 2008). In addition to the strange invisibility of the Agro-Food Law, the study of its normativity signals contexts of scarcity, hunger, privileged access to food and its varieties, and also exposes a secret expression of normativities of the nature of etiquette that allow us to make inferences about the types of society, who sat at the table, the evolution of utensils and their uses: a chronicle of customs (source of law) from the perspective of food and the entire process that surrounds it. Law did not remain alien to the discipline of access to food, despite of its absence in the curricula of the Faculties: food as a cultural phenomenon whose Luso-Brazilian path mixes a meeting of civilizations and traditional Greco-Roman, African, Arab, indigenous knowledge (SOARES & MACEDO, 2010) offers hermeneutic keys on tolerance, religion, customs, social hierarchy, intangible heritage that emerge from the core of the social fabric and point to meta-normative understanding possibilities for for global problems.
