“…The weakness identified became more evident after the recent demise of the Conselho Nacional de Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional (National Council for Food and Nutrition Security - CONSEA), an agency that was part of the Sistema Nacional de Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional (National System for Food and Nutrition Security - SISAN), and directly assisted the Presidency of the Republic in proposing interventions to address food insecurity and nutrition in Brazil (8,29). The decentralization for Brazilian states and municipalities of the model of intersectoral governance with social participation, after the re-establishment of CONSEA (30), is one of the great challenges of the Brazilian food and nutrition policies (28,30).…”

“…The social control is unknown to the population of this study, particularly those entitled to the BFP. This is a weakness in the operationalization of the Program and other Brazilian social public policies, since social control is a relevant mechanism to support broader changes for the development of food and nutrition security policies in Brazil, ensured by the Federal Constitution (27,28). The weakness identified became more evident after the recent demise of the Conselho Nacional de Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional (National Council for Food and Nutrition Security -CONSEA), an agency that was part of the Sistema Nacional de Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional (National System for Food and Nutrition Security -SISAN), and directly assisted the Presidency of the Republic in proposing interventions to address food insecurity and nutrition in Brazil (8,29).…”

The Bolsa Família Program (BFP) is one of the largest conditional cash transfer programs in the world, providing cash transfers and intersectoral actions. The aim of this study was to compare whether there is a difference in access to health services, intersectoral actions and social control, between families entitled or not, to the BFP. A cross-sectional study was carried out. A representative sample of a peripheral, socioeconomically vulnerable population from a large urban center in southeastern Brazil was calculated, totaling 380 families. Chi-square or Fisher’s exact tests and multiple correspondence analysis were used to compare groups. Families entitled to the BFP had worse living conditions in general and greater access to health services, such as: medical care ( p-value 0.009), community healthcare agent ( p-value 0.001) and home visits ( p-value 0.041). Being entitled or not affected the variability in the pattern of access to services by 31%; low access to intersectoral actions was identified in both groups; social control was incipient. There was an adequate focus on the program; greater access to health services was related to compliance with conditionalities; low access to intersectoral actions can restrict the interruption of the cycle of intergenerational transmission of poverty.

“…In the United States, for example, food policy councils were developed by municipalities and regions to coordinate voluntary responses to hunger that occurred after the withdrawal of welfare bene ts (Yeatman, 1994). In Brazil, the National Council on Food Nutrition and Security adopted a participatory model in developing policy as part of the Zero Hunger Program (da Silva et al, 2018). In 2004, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization adopted a multiactor approach in developing the Voluntary Guidelines to Support the Progressive Realization of the Right to Adequate Food in the Context of National Food Security.…”

As social movements engage in transnational legal processes, they have articulated innovative rights claims outside the nation-state frame. This chapter analyzes emerging practices of legal mobilization in response to global governance through a case study of the "right to food sovereignty." The claim of food sovereignty has been mobilized transnationally by smallscale food producers, food-chain workers, and the food insecure to oppose the liberalization of food and agriculture. The author analyzes the formation of this claim in relation to the rise of a "network imaginary" of global governance. By drawing on ethnographic research, the author shows how activists have internalized this imaginary within their claims and practices of legal mobilization. In doing so, the author argues, transnational food sovereignty activists co-constitute global food governance from below. Ultimately, the development of these practices in response to shifting forms of transnational legality re ects the enduring, mutually constitutive relationship between law and social movements on a global scale.

“…As lutas históricas que o Brasil enfrentou para superar a desnutrição coincidiram com o empoderamento da sociedade civil e dos movimentos sociais desempenhando um papel crucial na afirmação da saúde e da alimentação como direitos sociais. No entanto, o país vem enfrentando retrocessos e desafios relacionados à SAN, como a influência do agronegócio e das grandes empresas alimentícias, o aumento no uso de pesticidas e sementes geneticamente modificadas, pouca regulação sobre os alimentos ultraprocessados e práticas de marketing que afetam o ambiente, a saúde da população e a soberania alimentar [5] .…”

A efetivação de práticas de Educação Alimentar e Nutricional (EAN), no contexto da Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional (SAN), pressupõe ultrapassar os limites dos saberes específicos do nutricionista. Assim, este artigo apresenta um relato de experiência e tem por objetivo apresentar aspectos teórico-metodológicos e resultados de um Projeto de Iniciação Científica com estudantes de Nutrição com vistas a práxis da EAN na perspectiva da SAN, por meio da produção de texto e contação de história voltados ao público infanto juvenil. Os procedimentos metodológicos envolveram etapas de pesquisa bibliográfica; elaboração textual da história; avaliação por profissionais com formação e atuação nos campos de educação, alimentação e saúde; gravação da contação da história e divulgação em rede social. Dentre os resultados obtidos, destacam-se: a elaboração da versão final da história, “As aventuras de Dito em busca da comida de verdade”, após a avaliação dos especialistas, que versa sobre as afirmações do Manifesto Comida de Verdade alinhadas aos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS); a criação do perfil @literaturizeando na rede social Instagram para socialização da contação da história; as contribuições para a formação das estudantes de nutrição, que participaram de rodas de conversa, típicas da práxis freireana, e desenvolveram habilidades e competências em uma importante área de atuação profissional do nutricionista, a Saúde Coletiva. Dessa forma, conclui-se que trazer à tona o debate sobre o DHAA, por meio de ações de EAN, envolvendo a escrita e a contação de histórias, é uma importante estratégia para o fortalecimento da educação e cultura em direitos humanos.
