The emergence of COVID-19 in Brazil further explained the massive discrepancy between different social realities coexisting in the country, rekindling the discussions about food and nutrition security, similarly to what has been happening in other countries facing the same pandemic situation. In this paper, we argue that the risks to hunger and food security in Brazil have been present since 2016 and are now being exacerbated due to the emergence of the COVID-19 epidemic. This situation requires knowing the extent and magnitude of the issue and articulation of measures in the three governmental spheres(federal, municipal and state) to ensure access to adequate and healthy food and reduce the disease's adverse effectson the diet, health, and nutrition among the most vulnerable people. Thus, this work aims to contribute to the debate on the measures to be adopted by governments and society to promote and ensure food and nutrition security and prevent insecurity and the expansion of hunger during and after the social and health crisis created by the pandemic.
新冠疫情在巴西的出现，进一步凸显了该国并存的不同社会现实之间的巨大差异，这再次引发了关于粮食和营养安全的讨论，其他面临同样疫情形势的国家也出现了类似情况。在本文中，我们认为巴西的饥饿和粮食安全风险自2016年以来就已存在，如今由于新冠疫情的出现而加剧。这种情况需要了解该问题的范围和严重程度，并需要联邦、市和州三级政府共同采取措施，以确保人们能够获得充足且健康的食物，并减少该疾病对最弱势群体的饮食、健康和营养产生的不利影响。因此，这项工作旨在推动关于政府和社会应采取何种措施来促进和确保粮食和营养安全，以及在疫情引发的社会和健康危机期间及之后防止粮食不安全和饥饿蔓延的辩论。
