In its historical evolution, it has gone from providing local and seasonal food in proportion to the nutritional needs of the population, to delocalizing production and offering ultra-processed products, thus challenging the concepts of food security and sovereignty. Therefore, the general purpose was to explore this globalizing context in order to show the right to feed globalizing context, in order to show the right to feed oneself as a fundamental ethical value for humanity as a fundamental ethical value for humanity.
