A financeirização das commodities agrícolas e o sistema agroalimentar
Abstract
No período recente os preços das commodities agrícolas atingiram os mais elevados níveis em décadas, causando uma crise alimentar de dimensões globais. O objetivo deste artigo é analisar as causas dessa escalada de preços a partir da desregulação do sistema financeiro americano, se contrapondo à interpretação baseada nas relações entre oferta e demanda. O principal argumento vai além dos fundamentos do mercado, concentrando-se na simbiose entre o capital financeiro e o mercado de commodities. Essa financeirização resultou numa nova dinâmica do sistema agroalimentar e trouxe novos desafios para a agenda de segurança alimentar, em particular nos países mais vulneráveis.
