Segurança alimentar na política externa brasileira : uma análise dos governos Rousseff, Temer e Bolsonaro (2011–2022)

Abstract

The term “food security” has come a long way since it was first coined globally. Issues relating to the fight against hunger only entered the scope of international debate after the two great World Wars. For a long time, its debate was linked to various economic and commercial interests, but over time the issue has taken on a more social character, both at the national level and international society. Through long processes and debates, Brazil has had great visibility in policies aimed at combating hunger, including it in foreign policy and consequently establishing international dialogues with institutions that work directly with the issue, such as the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). The importance given to food security in Brazilian foreign policy changed abruptly under the governments of Dilma Rousseff, Michel Temer and Jair Bolsonaro. In view of this, this paper aims to investigate, through exploratory analysis, how food security was present in foreign policy during this period, with the intention of contributing to further analysis on the subject in the of International Relations.
