Resumo
Long known to the Brazilian population, food insecurity at its different levels is
once again plaguing society after years of improvements in policies for access to
adequate and healthy food. In mid-2013, but especially after 2019, when a new
federal government that excludes hunger from its political agenda takes power,
Food Insecurity levels began to grow again across the country. Through a
historical recap that covers until the period of the health crisis and the COVID-19
pandemic, this academic work will guide us through the actions of international
and national bodies and entities, as well as the implementation of public policies
that aim to ensure decent nutrition for the Brazilian population, and often fail.
Faced with the Covid-19 pandemic, which hit Brazil in March 2020, the human
right to adequate food becomes increasingly difficult to achieve, considering the
social and health crises experienced at the time. Considering the results
presented by the research “Inquérito Nacional sobre Insegurança Alimentar no
Contexto da Pandemia da Covid-19 no Brasil” published by Rede PENSSAN in
2021, and the “Efeitos da pandemia na alimentação e na situação da segurança
alimentar no Brasil” published by the group of Food for Justice research, from
Freie Universität Berlin, in partnership with the Federal University of Minas Gerais
and the University of Brasília, in 2021, we will analyze the impacts of political
decisions taken before and during the pandemic period – we will use the concepts
of biopower and biopolitics to point out how political desire and action is crucial
to managing the lives of the population, and the way in which failure can also be
a choice and its reasons – to understand and trace how power over life is
exercised through by means other than making someone die, treated here as
political abandonment, in order to understand which mechanisms are responsible
for the exercise of Necropolitics. Finally, the work intends to analyze the reality of
the Human Right to Adequate Food in Brazil during the period related to the
COVID-19 pandemic and present the impact of political action on this issue,
concluding that, in some moments, the emptying of public policies and the
13
negligence in tackling problems of great social impact can come from a place of
political control over the biological life of the population.
