Resumo: Current problems such as climate change, the financialisation of basic goods (e.g., air, water, and food) and the paradox between hunger and obesity mean that significant public attention is focused on agri-food systems. Among the various actions that have sought to mitigate or solve these problems is the reorientation of institutional food markets. In this context, the present work aims to discuss food policies that have been implemented by the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver, Canada, due to the fact that it has among its main institutional objectives the link between its agrifood system and the sustainability. As a theoretical reference, the Community-Campus Engagement (CCE) approach is used since this allows for a systemic analysis of the interactions between academic institutions and local community. The methodological procedures employed included analysis of institutional documents, application of semi-structured interviews, and participant observation. We conclude that to asses UBC’s participation in the institutional food market one must consider the dialectic relationship between production, commercialization, and consumption, based on the institutions’ interactions with the local community.

Entre las diversas acciones que tienen por objetivo mitigar o solucionar estos problemas se encuentra la reorientación de los mercados institucionales de alimentos. En este contexto, el presente trabajo tiene como objetivo discutir políticas alimentarias que han sido implementadas por la University of British Columbia (UBC), en Vancouver, Canadá, debido a que posee entre sus principales objetivos institucionales el vínculo entre su sistema agroalimentario y la sostenibilidad. Como referencia teórica se utiliza el enfoque Community-Campus Engagement (Compromiso entre el Campus y la Comunidad - CCE), pues ésta posibilita la lectura sistémica de las interacciones entre las unidades académicas y la población local. Se utilizaron como procedimientos metodológicos para análisis de documentos institucionales, la aplicación de entrevistas semiestructuradas y la observación participante. Se concluye que el entendimiento de la participación de la UBC en el mercado institucional de alimentos debe tener en cuenta la relación dialéctica entre producción, comercialización y consumo, teniendo como base sus interacciones con la comunidad local.Problemas atuais como as mudanças climáticas, a financeirização de bens básicos (ar, água e alimentos, por exemplo) e o paradoxo entre a fome e a obesidade fazem com que uma grande atenção pública seja direcionada aos sistemas agroalimentares.

Nesse contexto, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo discutir políticas alimentares que têm sido implementadas pela University of British Columbia (UBC), em Vancouver, no Canadá, devido ao fato dela possuir dentre os seus principais objetivos institucionais o vínculo entre seu sistema agroalimentar e a sustentabilidade. Como referência teórica é utilizada a abordagem Community-Campus Engagement (Engajamento entre o Campus e a Comunidade - CCE), pois esta possibilita a leitura sistêmica das interações entre as unidades acadêmicas e a população local. Foram utilizados como procedimentos metodológicos a análises de documentos institucionais, a aplicação de entrevista semiestruturadas e a observação participante. Conclui-se que o entendimento da participação da UBC no mercado institucional de alimentos deve levar em consideração a relação dialética entre produção, comercialização e consumo, tendo como base suas interações com a comunidade local.Edunisc - Universidade de Santa Cruz do Sul2019-01-03info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://online.unisc.br/seer/index.php/redes/article/view/1285810.17058/redes.v24i1.12858Redes ; Vol. 24 No. 1 (2019): Mercados Institucionais: reconectando a produção ao consumo; 45-61Redes; Vol. 24 Núm. 1 (2019): Mercados Institucionais: reconectando a produção ao consumo; 45-61Redes; Vol. 24 No. 1 (2019): Mercados Institucionais: reconectando a produção ao consumo; 45-61Redes; v. 24 n. 1 (2019): Mercados Institucionais: reconectando a produção ao consumo; 45-611982-6745reponame:Redes (Santa Cruz do Sul.
