“…Ribeirinhos are a marginalized group of river‐dwelling, Portuguese‐speaking, non‐indigenous, traditional people, of mixed (indigenous Amazonian/European/African) descent. Paradoxically, given the wildlife‐rich and relatively intact environment in which they live (Raudsepp‐Hearne et al, 2010), many ribeirinhos exhibit chronic malnutrition (Alencar et al, 2008; Guerra, Espinosa, Bezerra, Guimarães, & Lima‐Lopes, 2013). They are also highly dependent on wild fish and bushmeat (Dufour, Piperata, Murrieta, Wilson, & Williams, 2016; Murrieta & Dufour, 2004; van Vliet et al, 2015); access to which varies spatially due to overharvesting (Keppeler et al, 2018; Parry & Peres, 2015; Tregidgo, Barlow, Pompeu, Almeida, & Parry, 2017) and seasonally due to floods (Da Silva & Begossi, 2009; Saint‐Paul et al, 2000).…”

“…In this regard, the Northern Region of Brazil possesses much worse indicators related to child malnutrition, for example, than the other regions of the country, and the state of Amazonas is no exception. In recent decades the state has been facing a scenario of food insecurity, as evidenced by the high prevalence of childhood malnutrition, anemia, and hypovitaminosis [ 73 75 ].…”

“…In Brazil, the prevalence of undernutrition was reduced by half during the period 1996–2007 [ 4 ] but, owing to social inequality, the condition remains a public health problem, especially in the northern and north-eastern regions of the country [ 5 , 6 ]. According to a nutritional survey conducted in 2005 in the semiarid region of Brazil, the prevalence of undernutrition (stunting) among children living in the State of Alagoas was greater than in other north-eastern states.…”
