Overcoming the Challenges for the Territorialization of the SDGs in the Amazon: Guarantee of Security and Food Sovereignty

The territorialization of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) implies their localization at subnational levels, especially in the federation units and municipalities. The localization of the SDGs is understood as their introduction as a parameter of public actions and policies, as well as of the actions and initiatives of civil society and the business sector. In the current context of Brazil, this process presents challenges and dilemmas related to the operation of dismantling the institutions that have been built over decades for formulation, implementation, and participatory monitoring. The chapter deals with these challenges from the context of the deep Amazons, which are located in the states of Amapá and Pará, and the initiatives developed by the International Institute of Education of Brazil and by collectives of agro-extractivist women in Portel (PA) and in the Beira Amazonas Region (AP), as a contribution so that SDG 2 and SDG 5 are more than a long-term intention; they become a daily lived reality.
