Abstract
Los recursos de ayuda alimentaria del tercer sector han dado respuesta a las situaciones de in-seguridad alimentaria en los países ricos. Una determinada problematización de dicha inseguridad, ha traí-do aparejadas ciertas conveniencias de orden secundario, tales como la rentabilidad que logra la industria alimentaria con la remercantilización de alimentos donados o que de otra manera serían despilfarrados y la desresponsabilización de los gobiernos con respecto al derecho a la alimentación. Dicha problematización ayuda a la perpetuación de la entidad asistencialista de los recursos. La visión parcializada de la pobreza, que aparece como fácil de resarcir a través de estos canales, ha tenido efectos nocivos sobre las personas usuarias. El cariz asistencialista de los mencionados recursos de ayuda alimentaria estigmatiza y refuerza la exclusión. También nos ofrece información importante sobre la calidad de los sistemas de bienestar. El marco metodológico del modelo What’s the problem Represented to Be (WPR), a través de una serie de pre-guntas, nos ayuda a indagar en las raíces de la construcción de la problematización imperante, explorar las verdades que da por sentadas, y nos ofrece claves para el debate y para una problematización alternativa.Como conclusión principal, este trabajo plantea que es preciso repolitizar el vínculo entre la inseguridad alimentaria y los recursos de ayuda, problematizar la pobreza a la luz del derecho a la alimentación, evitando el estigma y cuidando los itinerarios de inclusión.
