Projet SUSTENTO : Enhancing the resilience of alternative food systems in informal settings in Latin America and the Caribbean through bottom-up initiatives in the built environment Projet de recherche à l’international / 2021 - 2025

Chercheur principal : Gonzalo Lizarralde , Lisa Bornstein

In Latin America and the Caribbean as elsewhere, low-income and marginalized communities have seen their vulnerability exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic. They are experiencing greater food insecurity and are suffering more from the cascading impacts of natural hazards and climate change. Yet every day, they produce informal, bottom-up solutions to these problems, transforming public space, housing and urban conditions at the margins of authorities’ influence and plans. These bottom-up solutions are still not fully understood by academics and practitioners. Besides, little is still known about how conditions of urban informality—where infrastructure and services are scarce, land tenure is disputed, governance structures are fragile, and housing conditions are poor—influence the emergence of alternative (that is, local, healthy, equitable, inclusive and culturally-relevant) food systems (AFS).

This project seeks to explore:

(a) how bottom-up informal solutions interact with food systems and contribute to make them more resilient to shocks such as climate change impacts and pandemics;

(b) how urban systems in contexts of informality influence the resilience and vulnerability of AFS and, by doing so, how they influence people’ capacity to deal with climate change impacts; and

(c) what are the conditions for scaling impact, transferring results, and overcoming implementation barriers towards resilient AFS in Latin America and the Caribbean.

The aim is to use such knowledge to (a) support on-the-ground, locally-specific efforts to strengthen AFS; and (b) generate and practice lessons related to the food system to reduce vulnerabilities and build resilience. It will do so by means of research, training, and implementation activities in four countries (Ecuador, Colombia, Chile, Cuba) and by means of networking and sharing activities among them and other countries in Central America. It will produce new knowledge and yield policy changes through innovative explorations that combine empirical research, action research and design. These activities will help enhance local capacity and interaction among community leaders, public officials, and academic partners and better equip communities and institutions to address challenges of food insecurity and natural hazards in the coming years.

Projet ADAPTO : Adaptation aux changements climatiques en contexte informel Projet de recherche à l’international / 2017 - 2021

Chercheur principal : Gonzalo Lizarralde , Olivera Ranero Andres
Co-chercheurs : Danielle Labbé , Benjamin Herazo , Christopher Bryant , Lisa Bornstein , Andres Olivera , Oswaldo Lopez
Sources de financement : CRDI/Centre de recherches pour le développement international
Programmes de subvention :

Le projet est basé sur la mise en œuvre d’une vingtaine de microprojets communautaires et urbains visant une meilleure adaptation aux changements climatiques en réponse, notamment, aux opportunités et aux défis soulevés par l’eau dans les contextes de pauvreté et d’informalité.
Le projet se dédie principalement à :
1) Au transfert de connaissances et d’expertises entre les partenaires du Sud.
2) La réalisation d’études détaillées en Colombie, au Chili, en Haïti, et à Cuba, notamment dans des villes affectées par les changements climatiques et étant confrontées à des opportunités et des menaces liées à l’eau.
Par la combinaison de la recherche empirique et la mise en œuvre des microprojets d’intervention urbaine, ce projet jouera un rôle de premier plan dans la formulation des stratégies d’adaptation et dans développement des connaissances originales sur l’informalité dans les pays du Sud.

Informations supplémentaires

  • Artefacts of Disaster Risk Reduction
    In Artefacts of Disaster Risk Reduction, our team explores how to bridge the gap between inefficient top-down policymaking and the often-neglected capacities on the ground. We coined the term “artefacts of disaster risk reduction” to refer to the set of rituals, practices, events, and spaces that make it possible for people in informal settings to work together, develop trust, and reduce or manage the multiple risks they face.
  • Comité d'éthique de la recherche en arts et humanités (CERAH)
    Le mandat du comité est évaluer, conformément à la Politique, l’acceptabilité éthique de toute recherche avec des êtres humains menée sous leur autorité ou sous leurs auspices, c’est-à-dire par les membres de leur corps professoral, leurs employés ou leurs étudiants, et ce, quel que soit l’endroit où s’effectue la recherche.
