Abstract

The well validated Brazilian Food Insecurity Scale (EBIA) documented major reductions in moderate/severe food insecurity (FI) between 2004 and 2014 likely because of economic growth in the context of equitable social and economic policies. Coinciding with a change in political administrations, in about 2015, FI rates started to rapidly rebound, with the FI crisis becoming substantially worst during the COVID-19 pandemic because equitable social policies were weakened or eliminated during the economic recession and political crisis preceding it. Evidence suggests that EBIA has helped inform food security governance in Brazil by documenting changes in FI coinciding with major shifts in social and economic policies. Research is needed to understand to what extent these policy shifts may explain the FI fluctuations over time.

基于经验的粮食不安全量表和粮食安全治理：巴西案例研究

根据经过充分验证的巴西粮食不安全量表（EBIA）的记录，2004 年至 2014 年间，中度/严重粮食不安全（FI）现象大幅减少，这可能是由于在公平的社会和经济政策背景下实现了经济增长。大约在 2015 年，随着政治当局的更迭，粮食不安全率开始迅速反弹，在 COVID-19 大流行期间，粮食不安全危机变得更加严重，因为在此之前的经济衰退和政治危机期间，公平的社会政策被削弱或取消。有证据表明，EBIA 记录了与社会和经济政策的重大转变相吻合的 FI 变化，有助于为巴西的粮食安全治理提供信息。需要开展研究，以了解这些政策转变在多大程度上可以解释 FI 随时间的波动。

The goal is to foster food systems that meet nutritional needs, preserve the environment, support livelihoods, tackle climate change, and diminish inequalities. This journal serves as a platform for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to access and engage with recent, diverse research and perspectives on achieving sustainable food security globally. It aspires to be an internationally recognized resource presenting cutting-edge insights in an accessible manner to a broad audience.
