The Fome Zero (Zero Hunger) Program

The Brazilian experience

The launching of the “Zero Hunger Project – a proposal for a food security policy in Brazil” in October 2001 by presidential candidate, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, reflected the maturing of discussions and proposals on food security and fighting hunger, which had become national priorities to be addressed through planned and decisive state actions with social participation. With the electoral victory of President Lula in 2003, the Zero Hunger project became the main governmental strategy guiding economic and social policies in Brazil, signalling a move away from the previous dichotomy that had characterized these policies. The government has since taken steps to integrate structural policies into emergency policies in the fight against hunger and poverty. New, differentiated policies for family farming have been implemented and basic legislation has been drawn up for national food security and nutrition policy. This book forms part of the NEAD Special series and contains a series of key texts for understanding the Brazilian experience of Zero Hunger at different points during its eight-year implementation period as a government programme. This compilation addresses a range of subjects, such as the mobilization of different segments of society, the role of family farming, recent advances and challenges faced, among others.
