Hunger spreads in Brazil: 6 out of 10 families do not have full access to food
In one year, the number of people who have nothing to eat jumps from 19 million to 33.1 million.
In 2022, more than half of the Brazilian population – 58.7% – live with some type of food insecurity. The number of people going hungry rose from 19 million to 33.1 million people in just over a year. The data released this Wednesday (June 8) are from the 2nd National Survey on Food Insecurity in the Context of the COVID-19 Pandemic in Brazil, carried out by the Brazilian Research Network on Food and Nutrition Sovereignty and Security (Rede Penssan). The research shows that Brazil has regressed to a level of food insecurity equivalent to that of the 1990s.
In these days we are experiencing the acceleration of global warming and a possible climatic collapse that are consequences of the capitalist way of life, responsible for bringing us to this point. This way of organizing life (which has been hegemonic since the 19th century) in a society that produces waste and destruction by treating everything as a commodity, prioritizing profit above all, including the preservation of the conditions of existence of the human species.
