Abstract: This article studies the processes of emergence, evolution and adaptation experienced by the food provisioning of Reunion island, since the abolition of slavery in 1848, until today. We identify two main trajectories in which coexist and confront several ways of organizing the food system. The article explains how transitions succeed one another in a temporal continuum, despite major crises that permanently affect the strategies of the actors involved. In particular, we show how the bazardiers were able to adapt to these transformations and to resist the attempts of collective discipline imposed by the authorities, while preserving their grip on the market of fruits and vegetables.
