HUNGER SITUATION
IN BRAZIL
At the end of 2020, 19.1 million Brazilians were living with hunger. In 2022, there will be 33.1 million people without food.
When looking at hunger, it is important to remember that each absolute number represents a person’s life. And that changes in food insecurity percentages — even if they seem small — mean millions of people living with hunger on a daily basis. Food insecurity is the condition of not having full and permanent access to food.
Hunger represents its most severe form.
