description This article explores how food has been studied within the field of geography, focusing on two authors who have dedicated themselves to this topic: Josué de Castro and Max Sorre. It is based on the dissertation “O lugar do alimentos no pensamento geográfico: uma análise a partir de Max Sorre e de Josué de Castro,” defended in September 2021 at UFES (Federal University of Espírito Santo). Josué de Castro is a Brazilian physician and geographer who, since the 1940s, has studied hunger through his research on food. Max Sorre is a classical French geographer, heir to the ideas of Paul Vidal de la Blache, author of, among other works, “Les Fondements de la géographie humaine.” Sorre concluded his geographical studies with “L’Homme sur la Terre: traité de géographie humaine” (Man on Earth: A Treatise on Human Geography), incorporating food and the geography of food into several of his studies, as well as the topic of hunger, which had been introduced to the scientific world by Josué de Castro. Based on documentary research, bibliographic readings, and interviews, the importance of the topic of food is demonstrated, especially in an era prior to the revolution in information and communication technologies, the Green Revolution, and the post-Cold War period, marked by a significant increase in food production and global paradigm shifts. The text argues for the need for true interdisciplinarity and the humanization of the humanities, as exemplified by these two humanist geographers. Its main objective is to share the contributions of Josué de Castro and Max Sorre in French, to better understand the problems they observed and analyzed, as well as the continuity of their ideas after their deaths. He concludes that the issue remains relevant and requires ongoing efforts to eliminate the scourge already denounced by Castro in the first three-quarters of the 20th century, which continues to devastate, both directly and covertly, a large part of humanity.

Baseia-se na dissertação “O lugar dos alimentos no pensamento geográfico: uma análise a partir de Max Sorre e de Josué de Castro”, defendida em setembro de 2021 na UFES (Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo). Josué de Castro é um médico e geógrafo brasileiro que, desde a década de 1940, estuda a fome por meio de suas pesquisas sobre alimentação. Max Sorre é um geógrafo francês clássico, herdeiro das ideias de Paul Vidal de la Blache, autor de, entre outras obras, “Les Fondements de la géographie humaine”. Sorre concluiu seus estudos geográficos com “L’Homme sur la Terre: traité de géographie humaine” (O Homem na Terra: Tratado de Geografia Humana), incorporando a alimentação e a geografia da alimentação em diversos de seus estudos, bem como o tema da fome, introduzido ao mundo científico por Josué de Castro. Baseado em pesquisa documental, leituras bibliográficas e entrevistas, demonstra-se a importância do tema da alimentação, especialmente em uma era anterior à revolução das tecnologias da informação e comunicação, à Revolução Verde e ao período pós-Guerra Fria, marcado por um aumento significativo na produção de alimentos e por mudanças paradigmáticas globais. O texto defende a necessidade de uma verdadeira interdisciplinaridade e da humanização das humanidades, exemplificada por esses dois geógrafos humanistas. Seu principal objetivo é compartilhar as contribuições de Josué de Castro e Max Sorre em francês, para melhor compreender os problemas que observaram e analisaram, bem como a continuidade de suas ideias após suas mortes. Ele conclui que a questão permanece relevante e exige esforços contínuos para eliminar o flagelo já denunciado por Castro nos primeiros três quartos do século XX, que continua a devastar, direta e indiretamente, grande parte da humanidade.   Este artículo explora cómo la alimentación ha sido estudiada en el campo de la geografía, a partir de dos autores que se han dedicado a este tema: Josué de Castro y Max Sorre. Se basa en la tesis “O lugar do alimento no pensamento geográfico: uma análise a partir de Max Sorre e de Josué de Castro”, defendida en septiembre de 2021 en la UFES (Universidad Federal de Espírito Santo). Josué de Castro es un médico y geógrafo brasileño que, desde la década de 1940, estudió el hambre a través de sus estudios sobre la alimentación. El segundo es un geógrafo clásico francés, heredero de las ideas de Paul Vidal de la Blache, autor, entre otros, de “Les Fondements de la géographie humaine”. Sorre concluyó sus estudios geográficos con “L’Homme sur la Terre: traité de géographie humaine”, incorporando la alimentación y la geografía de la alimentación en varios de sus estudios, así como el tema del hambre introducido en el mundo científico por Josué de Castro. Basándose en investigación documental, lecturas bibliográficas y entrevistas, se mostró la importancia del tema de la alimentación, especialmente en una época anterior a la revolución de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación, la Revolución Verde y la posguerra fría, marcada por un aumento significativo de la producción alimentaria y cambios de paradigma globales. El texto aboga por la necesidad de una verdadera interdisciplinariedad y humanización de las humanidades, como lo hicieron estos dos geógrafos humanistas. Su principal objetivo es compartir las contribuciones de Josué de Castro y Max Sorre en francés, para comprender mejor los problemas que observaron y analizaron, así como la continuidad de sus ideas tras su fallecimiento. Concluye que el tema sigue siendo relevante y requiere esfuerzos para eliminar el flagelo ya denunciado por Castro en los primeros tres cuartos del siglo XX, que continúa devastando, tanto de forma directa como encubierta, a gran parte de la humanidad.   Ediciones UNL 2025-12-31 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf application/epub+zip https://bibliotecavirtual.unl.edu.ar/publicaciones/index.php/index/article/view/15200 10.14409/rdee.2025.2.e0077 Desarrollo, Estado y Espacio; Vol. 4 No. 2 (2025): Geopolitics and geoeconomics of food: Structural relationships, trends, and the role of South America in the international economic system; e0077 Desarrollo, Estado y Espacio; Vol. 4 Núm. 2 (2025): Geopolítica y geoeconomía de los alimentos.
