LOAIZA-BUITRAGO, Diana Fernanda; TOMBE-REYES, Shirley y ESTRADA-TRUJILLO, Victoria Eugenia. Social Determinants of Fruit and Vegetable Consumption in Florida, Valle del Cauca - Colombia. Rev. Cienc. Salud [online]. 2023, vol.21, n.2, pp.1-. Epub 08-Nov-2023. ISSN 1692-7273. https://doi.org/10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/revsalud/a.10270.
Introduction
: Fruit and vegetable consumption as a preventive health measure depends mainly on the perspective of individual lifestyle. The structural processes such as food production models and food policies determine their production, availability, and access. This study aimed to analyze the social determinants of fruit and vegetable consumption in the municipality of Florida, Valle del Cauca, Colombia.
Materials and Methods
: This is a qualitative case study using a social determination approach. This study includes a documentary review of food policies and discussion groups among key stakeholders. A content analysis was conducted to allow an explicit analysis of the messages and speeches.
Results
: In the general dimension, deemed as critical processes of determination, the unequal use and possession of land and the exploitation of water sources and policies, from the logic of the free market, increasingly reduce the local strategies for self-support and self-consumption and limit the production and access of fruits and vegetables. In the particular dimension, a critical adverse process includes the armed conflict. However, the exercise of food sovereignty favors the consumption of fruits and vegetables.
Conclusion
: Food policy at the national and local level discursively recognizes the social determinants of food security; however, in practice, contingent strategies that do not aim at addressing the structural conditions that limit production, availability, access and, therefore, the consumption of fruits and vegetables, should be evaluated.
