DEMONTE, Flavia Carolina. Analysis of food social policies in Argentina in the period 2001-2008. Poblac. soc. [online]. 2016, vol.23, n.1, pp.5-43. ISSN 1852-8562.

The aim of this article is to analyse the food and nutrition social policies after the 2001 crisis up to 2008 through the identification and study of definitions associated with feeding, food issues and the ideological and political approaches underling them. From a discursive viewpoint, the intention is to reconstruct the meanings that come into play when formulating policies to address a specific issue. After the reconstruction, it was concluded that the socioeconomic context but mainly the political and ideological ones determine the way in which food social policies are developed.
