This study analyzes, through a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design, how social eating practices are shaped by food environments and, in turn, contribute to their differential configuration across two districts of contrasting socioeconomic status. It proposes a theoretical framework that articulates Bourdieu's praxeology with Shove's theory of practices, conceptualizing food environments as social fields in which capitals are contested, and meanings, materials, and competencies are stabilized.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Through a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design, the NEMS-P-Ch survey was administered to 785 adults, and eleven focus groups were conducted in two districts of contrasting socioeconomic status (SES) within a major Latin American metropolis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In low-SES districts, provisioning practices center on farmers' markets and local shops, mobilizing social capital and budget-maximizing strategies to navigate material scarcity.
