Abstract

The objective of this article is to explore the Brazilian influence in Latin American food policy within a framework of southsouth cooperation based on policy transfer. For this, the cases of the program of public purchases from family farming in Brazil, pioneer at regional level, and Chile, initiated during the second term of president Michelle Bachelet, are considered. In the first part, both programs are described and analyzed. Next, we examine the influence of the Brazilian program on its Chilean counterpart. This based on a review of the mechanisms of exchange and cooperation between Chile and Brazil, especially in agri-food policies. As general result, although there are important differences in operational terms between both programs, the Brazilian influence is clearly perceived in the agenda setting.
