The aim of this article is to reinterpret the classic work Geografia da Fome [The Geography of Hunger], first published in 1946. The article provides a summary of the five food area maps and the main nutritional deficiencies in Brazil, based on Josué de Castro's original conception. Currently, the nutritional epidemiological profile identified by Josué de Castro, characterized by nutritional deficiencies (malnutrition, vitamin deficiencies, endemic goiter, iron deficiency anemia, etc.), overlap with chronic non-communicable diseases (obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemias, etc.). However, the complex and paradoxical issue of hunger is a persistently recurrent theme in Brazil. Given a series of current dilemmas, including the planet's ecological sustainability and the need to guarantee the human right to adequate, healthy nutrition, it is urgent to reawaken the struggle led by Josué de Castro for the adoption of a sustainable economic development model and a society free of poverty and hunger.
本文旨在重新解读1946年首次出版的经典著作《饥饿地理学》。本文基于若苏埃·德·卡斯特罗的原始构想，总结了巴西的五幅食物区域地图以及主要营养缺乏情况。目前，若苏埃·德·卡斯特罗所确定的营养流行病学特征，以营养缺乏（营养不良、维生素缺乏、地方性甲状腺肿、缺铁性贫血等）为特点，与慢性非传染性疾病（肥胖、糖尿病、血脂异常等）相互重叠。然而，饥饿这一复杂且矛盾的问题在巴西一直反复出现。鉴于当前一系列困境，包括地球的生态可持续性以及保障充足、健康营养的人权需求，迫切需要重新唤起若苏埃·德·卡斯特罗所引领的斗争，以采用可持续经济发展模式并建立一个没有贫困和饥饿的社会。
