Agricultural extractivisms in times of pandemic: Flexibilities, asymmetries, authoritarianisms and other spill-over effects

Summary/Abstract: In the context of the Covi19 pandemic, South American government sustained agricultural extractivisms (including agriculture, livestock and forestry). In some cases, they are presented as a solution to the reduction of oil and mineral extractivisms. In other cases, changes occur between different agricultural products. This strategy results in maintaining social and environmental impacts, and strengths asymmetries between business actors and small farmers or peasants. Despite the crisis due to the pandemic was an opportunity for those alternatives focused on supplying food to overcome the nutritional component among the poorest sectors, the prevailing strategy promotes an agriculture that supply merchandises for export, resulting in promoting extractivisms. The spill-over effects were maintained and in some cases deepened, such as social, labor and environmental flexibilities, and public policies that support and shield extractivism were strengthened.
