Resumo
This study tried to identify the prevalence and some defining aspects of food (in) security (FS/FI) in the families of fourteen
quilombola communities in the state of Tocantins( Brazil). It was studied living conditions, prevalence of food insecurity obtained
from Brazilian Scale of Food Insecurity (EBIA) and participation in nutrition and transference income programs. It was studied
696 quilombola families (83,15% from the total identified, which was 837 families). The FI was detected in 589 (85,1%) families. It
was observed that 280 (40,2%) houses were made from adobe. Only 177 (25,4%) had: garbage collection; 218 (31,3%) water
supply and 59 ( 8,5%) sewage system. 455 (65,6%) families had filtered water and 384 (55,2%) refrigerator. Food donation was
received by 314 (45,8%) families and 333 (47,8%) were Programa Bolsa Família’s (PBF) beneficiary. Some practices were related to
the FI such as: “burn or bury the trash”, “getting water from pipas trucks or directly from the river or lake”, “the swage be
exposed”, “not having refrigerator” and “be a beneficiary of the PBF”. In conclusion, there’s a clearly situation of food insecurity
in the quilombola communities, therefore it’s urgent the implementation of some actions in order to guarantee the food security of
those families.
