ABSTRACT

Resumo O surgimento da COVID-19 no Brasil explicitou ainda mais a enorme discrepância entre diferentes realidades sociais que coexistem no país, reacendendo as discussões acerca da segurança alimentar e nutricional, à semelhança do que vem acontecendo em outros países que enfrentam a mesma situação de pandemia. Argumenta-se neste trabalho que os riscos para a Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional (SAN) e a fome dos brasileiros já vinham se apresentando desde 2016, sendo agora aprofundados pela emergência da epidemia da COVID-19, passando a exigir compreensão da extensão e da magnitude dos problemas e articulação de medidas governamentais nas três esferas de gestão (federal, municipal e estadual), que possam assegurar o acesso à alimentação adequada e saudável, com vistas a reduzir os impactos negativos da doença na condição de alimentação, saúde e nutrição dos mais vulneráveis. Assim, este texto pretende contribuir para o debate sobre as medidas a serem adotadas pelos governos e sociedade para promover e garantir a SAN e impedir que a insegurança e a expansão da fome avancem durante e após a crise social e sanitária gerada pela pandemia. The emergence of COVID-19 in Brazil further explained the massive discrepancy between different social realities coexisting in the country, rekindling the discussions about food and nutrition security, similarly to what has been happening in other countries facing the same pandemic situation. In this paper, we argue that the risks to hunger and food security in Brazil have been present since 2016 and are now being exacerbated due to the emergence of the COVID-19 epidemic. This situation requires knowing the extent and magnitude of the issue and articulation of measures in the three governmental spheres(federal, municipal and state) to ensure access to adequate and healthy food and reduce the disease's adverse effectson the diet, health, and nutrition among the most vulnerable people. Thus, this work aims to contribute to the debate on the measures to be adopted by governments and society to promote and ensure food and nutrition security and prevent insecurity and the expansion of hunger during and after the social and health crisis created by the pandemic.

ABSTRACT

This paper addresses a Food and Nutrition Security (FNS) participatory assessment developed together with community leaders and residents in Salvador city, Bahia, Brazil. Our reflection aims to analyze this research - including design, data generated, and its use - discussing the concept of FNS and its existing assessment methods. Secondary data were found to be difficult to access or of little utility to local activists. The household survey designed and used by the participants characterized the food and nutrition insecurity situation in vulnerable areas of the community, in a dialogue with national and socioeconomic indicators, evidencing robust data. First of all, the relevance of participatory approaches stood out: while the results show how much FNS is intricately embedded into a broader social vulnerability context, they show how critical it is to consider FNS research as a political instrument and the knowledge it produces as a power-related instrument. In this sense, FNS assessment is established as an emancipatory process, indissociable from the action and social change actors.


Este artigo focaliza uma avaliação participativa da situação de Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional (SAN) desenvolvida junto a moradores e líderes comunitários em Salvador, Bahia. A reflexão visa analisar esta pesquisa - incluindo desenho, dados geridos e sua utilização - dialogando com o conceito de SAN e os métodos existentes da sua avaliação. Observou-se que os dados secundários são de difícil acesso e/ou pouco uteis para a militância local. Quanto à pesquisa domiciliar desenhada e utilizada pelos participantes, ela permitiu caracterizar o quadro de insegurança alimentar e nutricional em áreas vulneráveis da comunidade, dialogando com os indicadores nacionais e os dados socioeconômicos, demonstrando a robusteza dos dados. Antes de tudo, é a relevância de abordagens participativas que mais se destaca: no mesmo movimento em que os resultados mostram o quanto a questão da SAN se insere no quadro de vulnerabilidade social, eles evidenciam o quão necessário se faz pensar a pesquisa em SAN como instrumento político e o conhecimento gerido como instrumento do poder. Nesse sentido, a avaliação da situação de SAN se constitui como processo emancipatório, indissociável da ação e dos atores da transformação social.
