What backs it

Starting October 1, bars and restaurants inside Maré—a complex of 16 favelas home to 140,000 people in Rio de Janeiro—will participate in a month-long competitive food trail designed to attract visitors from across the city and shift the narrative around the neighbourhood from violence and poverty to the thriving food culture and entrepreneurship within it.
