Concretização e judicialização do direito à alimentação no Brasil: análise das políticas públicas de combate à fome

Abstract

Hunger, food insecurity, malnutrition, and poverty are global challenges that affect various parts of the world. Despite being one of the world's major food producers, Brazil is not immune to these issues. Many of its inhabitants still suffer from inadequate access to basic food, facing difficulties in meeting their daily nutritional needs. Therefore, this academic work aims to analyze the realization and judicialization of the right to food in Brazil. The study begins by addressing the concept of fundamental rights, highlighting the fundamental right to food and its historical context. The preservation of food as part of cultural identity is also explored. The obligations related to the fundamental right to food are discussed, emphasizing the importance of food security and food sovereignty. Social programs aimed at combating hunger and promoting adequate nutrition are presented and analyzed. The realization of the social right to food in Brazil is examined, considering the role of the Judiciary in this process. Cases where judicial intervention becomes necessary to ensure the fulfillment of this fundamental right are discussed. Through the analysis of these topics, the study seeks to understand the importance of realizing the right to food and the role of the Judiciary in its implementation. The study highlights the need for effective public policies and the strengthening of mechanisms to protect fundamental rights related to food.
