| Resumo: | Food insecurity (INSA) occurs when the population does not have continuous and frequent access to food in sufficient quantity and quality for its survival, representing an uncertain or irregular acquisition, which characterizes a worrying issue in Brazil and represents a problem for populations low-income. This study aimed to identify the status and levels of INSA in the Brazilian population, as well as to analyze the factors that influence the different degrees of food insecurity, and to evaluate the use of income transfer programs (PTR) in facing this problem. The methodology adopted was the narrative literature review and involved the analysis of studies that addressed INSA in Brazil. The research and selection of these studies was carried out using the electronic databases Scielo, PubMed and “Biblioteca Virtual em saúde”, considering only studies published in the last ten years. Of a total of 110 articles found, 10 articles were included in the review, which address levels from INSA, influential factors and the relationship with Bolsa Família, the predominant PTR in Brazil, in the years in which the studies were carried out. The results of the studies demonstrate that food insecurity is a reality present in different regions of the country, mainly affecting low-income families. The lack of variety in food and the "indigent" per capita income were identified as the main determinants of this problem. In addition, the low level of education of the heads of household also played a significant role in the food insecurity. Regarding the PTR, the Bolsa Família Program was the most cited, it was found that, although they have the goal of improving the socioeconomic conditions of low-income families, there is a high prevalence of food insecurity among beneficiaries yet. This points to the need to improve these social policies in order to guarantee an adequate minimum income to meet the food needs of the most vulnerable families. In conclusion, the studies show that food insecurity is a complex and multifactorial problem, related to socioeconomic, educational and structural issues, which most strongly affect low-income families, to which the PTR are directed, which minimize the INSA problem, but they do not solve it in its entirety. Thus, the need to implement more effective and comprehensive public policies is recognized, which can effectively eradicate INSA and hunger in Brazil. |
