As políticas de combate a fome no Brasil do século XXI

Abstract

Hunger has accompanied Brazilian history since the beginning of its formation, but it is controversial that it is present in a country that has always been very fertile and with an economy based on the agricultural export sector. In this way, we will analyze how the problem of hunger has been dealt with in terms of government policies in Brazil in the 21st century. Using the inductive approach and processing method, we will use literature reviews and secondary data consultation. Starting from the viewpoint of the Classical School of Political Economy and contrasting them with their contemporary critics, presenting the historical trajectory of the problem of hunger in Brazil and finally discussing the governmental policies to fight hunger adopted in Brazil during the 21st century and showing their positive results in the fight against hunger, but with subsequent change of conduct in subsequent governments. In this way, we verify that the origins and reasons that lead to hunger in Brazil refute the arguments of the classics and beyond that, hunger is a symptom of a structural problem that is the result of a perverse growth model.
