In Tanzania, a high level of hunger persists. Several factors compound a complex scenario of food insecurity. Contextual aspects at the community level can influence the maintenance of the vulnerable local conditions. This article aims to better understand these aspects by investigating community problem perceptions in n = 04 remote rural villages in Tanzania. Furthermore, how to include community perceptions as a pedagogical element of food security projects is discussed. The methodology consists of three steps: preparatory exploration; household survey (n = 663); and pedagogical workshops (n = 270). The main results indicate that inhabitants of the four villages identify and describe their problems differently. We discovered food insecurity's hidden factors. Community problem perceptions and local knowledge play fundamental roles in critical food security, despite the environmental conditions' effect (lack of infrastructure, water scarcity). The pedagogical process of Codification and Decoding of hunger situations can generate more effective educational programs for social learning.
在坦桑尼亚，饥饿问题仍然很严重。多种因素导致了粮食不安全的复杂局面。社区层面的背景因素可能会影响脆弱的当地条件的维持。本文旨在通过调查坦桑尼亚 04 个偏远农村社区的社区问题感知，更好地理解这些方面。此外，还讨论了如何将社区感知纳入粮食安全项目的教学元素。该方法包括三个步骤：预备性探索；家庭调查（n=663）；和教学研讨会（n=270）。主要结果表明，四个村庄的居民对他们的问题有不同的看法。我们发现了粮食不安全的隐藏因素。尽管环境条件（基础设施缺乏、水资源短缺）有影响，但社区问题感知和当地知识在粮食安全方面起着至关重要的作用。饥饿情况的编码和解码的教学过程可以为社会学习生成更有效的教育计划。
