Impactos sociais da fome e insegurança alimentar na educação, saúde e segurança pública

Hunger is present when people do not have enough food to eat. On the other hand, the main cause of hunger must be understood not as the collective scarcity of food, but rather as the lack of stable access to food, or food insecurity. In this aspect, fighting hunger is a struggle that involves ensuring a sufficient daily supply of calories. Although the causes of hunger in each family, community and/or society can be easily listed, its consequences are much more complex to estimate from a social and economic point of view. The intention of this research is to propose the scope of a larger study that contains the main points and some highlights that will be detailed in a complete article containing mapping and literature review under the theme “social impacts of hunger in different social sectors, with prioritization of studies with quantitative analysis”. Faced with the Guiding Question: What is the social cost of a hungry person? This research aims to address the social and economic dimensions of hunger/food insecurity in different sectors/areas/social markers: health, education and public safety. The idea is to identify what the short, medium and long-term impacts are and highlight what knowledge production exists and what the gaps are, especially in the analyzes of the “cost of hunger”.
