Abstract

In this article, we present a discussion of some of the main political, economic and social causes that have promoted the reconstruction of the global food system based on nations’ sovereignty. In this context the Chilean case will be discussed as an opportunity for the transformation of the food sector, based on a solidary economic model and on distributed manufacturing technologies, which open new channels for the unification of society and the appreciation of the distribution of resources, promoting local and environmentally sustainable production. At this point, design becomes significant, positioning food and packaging project areas, as a strategic tool for the articulation of the product value chain of the future. The objective is to bring social and cultural dignity back to food, through the diversification of nutritious and affordable meals.
