GUEDES, Cezar Augusto Miranda  and  SILVA, Rocio. Agri-food geographical indications, policies, and social management: Argentina, Brazil, and the Spanish experience in the European context. Anál. Social [online]. 2014, n.211, pp.408-429. ISSN 0003-2573.

This article examines the reference framework and institutional context of Geographical Indications (GI) and Spain’s Social Management within the European Union. The cases of Brazil and Argentina are then analyzed, providing a comparative study. The emphasis is on identity and territorial development, in which family farming has a central role. Thereafter, the design and implementation of public policies strengthening the preparation of concrete agendas and measures in the light of the Spanish and European experience are put into perspective. In both the Brazilian and Argentine cases, findings point to the need for an adjustment in public policies in order to better identify and program actions and goals.

Keywords : geographical indications; social management; Argentina; Brazil; Spain.
