Resumo(s)
According to the Food and Agriculture Organization fao (1996), “food
security exists when all people, at all times, have physical and economic access
to sufficient safe and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs and food
preferences for a healthy and active life”. Original conceptualizations, dating
from food crises of the 1970s, linked food security with supply, availability,
and price stability of foodstuffs at the national or regional scale. Further
understandings, namely Sen’s (1982) work, showed that famines and food
poverty were not necessarily the result of supply failures, but derived from
distribution problems and specifically from a lack of entitlement to food within
a given context. Over the last decades, debates about food security broadened
what was originally a more restricted concept, centred on food supply,
availability, and stability (Borch and Kjærnes 2016). Additionally, researchers
have also considered
food security as encompassing access to nutritionally
balanced and socially acceptable food, aimed at achieving an active and
healthy life (Truninger and Díaz-Méndez 2017). Current conceptualizations
regard food security as an ideal situation on a continuum. On the other hand,
food insecurity occurs when one or more of the aforementioned criteria are
lacking. Thus, this phenomenon may differ according to its severity.
