Abstract

Brazil, since the beginning of the 21st century, has been standing out in the fight against food insecurity. Efficient public policies, such as Zero Hunger, anchored in the precepts of the Millennium Goals (MDGs), helped the country to leave the Hunger Map. However, this is no longer the reality of the nation, which has recently returned to the aforementioned Map due to poor public management, aggravated by the Covid-19 pandemic, putting into question the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), scheduled for 2030. It is precisely on this topic that the present study, of an applied nature, seeks to discuss. To this end, a descriptive study of the MDGs and SDGs is carried out, as well as an analytical debate on the degradation of Brazilian food policy, including pandemic impacts. In addition, the use of bibliographic and documentary techniques regarding the research procedure is emphasized, which made it possible to demonstrate, in the end, that hunger is a currently endemic situation in Brazil, which will only be reversed by combating the invisibility of those who are directly affected by it.
