Abstract
Se aportan algunas claves para comprender las principales tensiones y contradicciones que se están produciendo en el modelo hegemónico de protección alimentaria. Para ello se analizan dinámicas y discursos de diversas experiencias puestas en marcha para afrontar el hambre y la Inseguridad Alimentaria en la Comunidad de Madrid. Para cubrir estos objetivos, se parte del análisis del material cualitativo procedente de un Proyecto de Aprendizaje Colaborativo desarrollado entre la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, la Carta contra el Hambre y el Observatorio para la Garantía del Derecho a la Alimentación en la Comunidad de Madrid entre 2019 y 2021. Se comprueba cómo el modelo hegemónico de reparto de alimentos a partir de los Bancos de Alimentos asistenciales provistos, fundamentalmente, desde el Estado en la sombra y desde iniciativas filantrópicas, se va viendo progresivamente tensionado y cuestionado tanto interna, como externamente. Al mismo tiempo, se observa la enorme potencialidad de los grupos vecinales y de apoyo para proponer experiencias innovadoras que suponen un aprendizaje fundamental en el objetivo de la protección alimentaria, al mismo tiempo que generan bienestar y fortalecen el tejido social y la identidad barrial.
We set out some key factors for understanding the main tensions and contradictions that are arising within the hegemonic model for tackling food insecurity. To do so, we examine the dynamics and discourses arising from various initiatives in this area that have been launched in the Autonomous Community of Madrid. Specifically, we analyse qualitative materials produced within a collaborative-learning project that was jointly undertaken by the Complutense University of Madrid, the Charter against Hunger and the Monitoring Centre for Guaranteeing the Right to Food in Madrid between 2019 and 2021. We confirm that the hegemonic model of distributing food via food banks, which are mainly provided by the shadow state and philanthropic initiatives, is progressively coming under greater stress and being questioned both internally and externally. We also observe the enormous potential of neighbourhood and mutual-support groups to propose innovative initiatives that serve as an essential learning experience vis-à-vis the objective of ensuring food security and the right to food at the same time as they strengthen the social fabric, the well-being of families and neighbourhood identities.
