Chronic undernourishment—the most extreme level of food insecurity—affected 4.7 percent of Brazilians between 2020 and 2022, or 10.1 million people in absolute numbers. The figures can be found in the report The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World, released this week by five specialized UN agencies.
The study reveals that one in ten Brazilians (9.9%) experienced severe food insecurity between 2020 and 2022. Furthermore, almost a third (32.8%) of the country’s population struggled under severe or moderate food insecurity, adding up to 70.3 million Brazilians, up from 18.3 percent for 2014–2016.
