SGARBI SANTOS, Jaqueline  and  MENASCHE, Renata. Valuation of Traditional Food Products: Use of Geographical Indications in the Brazilian Context. Cuad. Desarro. Rural [online]. 2015, vol.12, n.75, pp.11-31. ISSN 0122-1450.  https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.cdr12-75.vpat.

Traditional food products are part of a system in which tools and knowledge are interwoven with the way of life of producer families. We observe in this context a growing mistrust regarding the origin of food, so in it, traditional food products become key to identify the origin and preserve the culture. Currently, Geographical Indications (IGs) arise for the valuation of these systems. However, although constituting IGs may seem as an interesting perspective, it cannot be assumed as an end by itself. It is important that the individual characteristics of each system are understood in order to identify the best strategy for its preservation.

Keywords : traditional knowledge; food culture; peasantry; intellectual property.
