Abstract

This dossier focuses on one of the essential debate topics today about the territorial dimension of the new development strategies concerned with the worsening of the global socioecological crisis, that is: the challenges related to the activation and integration in networks of localized agri-food systems.

For its composition, some contributions presented and debated during the VI International Conference on Localized Agri-food System - The LAFS facing the opportunities and challenges of the new global context have been gathered. The event took place in the city of Florianópolis, from May 21th to 25th of 2013. The event was promoted by the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) and by the Center for the International Cooperation on Agricultural Research for Development (CIRAD). Besides UFSC and CIRAD, EPAGRI, State University of Santa Catarina (UDESC), as well as research institutes and universities from other states (UFMG, IEA/SP, UFS, UFRGS) and Mexican and Argentinian partners from the RED SIAL Latino Americana also participated in the organization of lectures, discussion tables and workshops.
