“…These schools of thought can be used to trace the origin of the study of nutrition from a scientific perspective in México. They proposed that the population had to be literally cleansed through miscegenation and adopt ways of life of the Western world in order to improve their living standards ( Vargas Domínguez, 2011 , 2018 , 2019 ).…”

This paper examines how variations in the height and health of Mexicans during the second half of the twentieth century reflect the evolution of economic inequality, as its effects have repercussions on the health and nutritional conditions of the population. The average height of Mexican adults had a modest increase with respect to the possibilities of human plasticity. These anthropometric variations were the result of the incorporation of advances in science and technology leading to improved standards of living among the population. Body changes were impacted by dietary habits, urbanization, and government policies supporting food production and distribution.

The mixture of political, social, cultural, and economic environments in Latin America, together with the enormous diversity in climates, natural habitats, and biological resources the continent offers, make the ethical assessment of agricultural policies extremely difficult. Yet the experience gained while addressing the contemporary challenges the region faces, such as rapid urbanization, loss of culinary and crop diversity, extreme inequality, disappearing farming styles, water and land grabs, malnutrition, and the restoration of the rule of law and social peace, can be of great value to other regions in similar latitudes, development processes, and social situations. This chapter will provide a brief overview of these challenges from the perspective of a continent that is exposed to the consequences of extreme inequality in multiple dimensions and conclude by arguing for the need to have a continuous South-South dialogue on the challenges of establishing socially and environmentally sustainable food systems.

De la autonomía a la dependencia. Maíz, mercado y alimentación en Antioquia en la primera mitad del siglo XX

El artículo expone las características de una cultura maicera como la antioqueña en la primera mitad del siglo XX, en la que destaca su limitada producción para atender la creciente demanda de maíz. Esto obligó para su aprovisionamiento en Medellín, centro de la región, a una ampliación de redes de comercio con el resto del departamento y el país. El estudio evidencia la ausencia de una modernización regional en esta actividad tanto en producción como industrialización, y una nula especialización de la estructura rural para proveer de este cereal altamente valorado para la nutrición de la clase trabajadora.
