THE INFLUENCE OF ANDEAN CONSTITUTIONALISM ON THE FORMATION OF A NEW AGROECOLOGICAL PARADIGM FOR LAW
Main Article Content
Abstract
In the Anthropocene, increasingly complex problems affect modern societies. The triple burden of malnutrition and food insecurity are some examples of problems that illustrate the failure of modern agriculture and its associated production model. In this sense, this article seeks to outline the influence and some contributions of the Andean Constitutionalism to the formation and consolidation of an agroecological paradigm. The œNew Latin American Constitutionalism has established in the continent a new constitutional perspective, based on the œbuen vivir, the legal pluralism and the human right to food. Therefore, this research, by adopting the inductive method and documentary research techniques, analyses the Venezuelan, Ecuadorian and Bolivian constitutions, highlighting a set of guidelines to foster and support the academic debates regarding food safety and sovereignty policies in Latin American. Those constitutions are certainly relevant to legal research, as they provide epistemological and methodological tools and insights to (re)think the role of law in the transition towards sustainability, offering a basis for a paradigm shift in the legal world, to assist the transition from an agribusiness law to an agroecological law.
