Food Insecurity in Terreiro Peoples

Despite the growing recognition by law and common sense that guaranteed access to adequate food from a nutritional, cultural and environmental point of view gives individuals a better chance of life, development and participation, as well as allowing moments of pleasure, social interaction and cultural strengthening around food practices, thousands of Brazilians still live in a situation of food inaccessibility. This book sets out to find out about the food security situation in the state's terreiro communities, with a view to the findings being able to guide public plans and actions, especially those that make food and nutritional security a reality among families. The book could serve as an instrument of empowerment for the inhabitants of terreiros, fostering greater knowledge and, consequently, their participation in demanding basic rights. This book is a pioneer in the state.
