About - 2024 Food and nutritional security

The Survey of Basic State Information - Estadic and the Survey of Basic Municipal Information - Munic collect administrative records on the structure, dynamics and operation of the public institutions of these federated entities, as well as on various aspects of the sectoral public policies relating to them, based on the collection of thematic data that alternate each year, with a view to covering the diversity of areas of action of these governmental spheres and enable the evaluation of their respective public management over time.

With this publication, the IBGE, in partnership with the Extraordinary Secretariat for Fighting Against Poverty and Hunger, linked to the Ministry of Development and Social Assistance, Family and Fight Against Hunger, publishes the results of the first edition of the Food and Nutritional Security Supplement. It was applied in the 27 Federation Units and in the 5,570 Brazilian municipalities, following the Basic Questionnaire of Estadic and Munic in 2024.

The publication addresses some dimensions of food and nutritional security in the federative entities considered, such as: governmental structure used to manage the matter; legislation and related management and participation instruments; actions undertaken by governments focusing both on the Human Right to Adequate Food of the populations under their sphere of responsibility and on combating all types of malnutrition; and equipment designed to offer services that guarantee access to quality food, especially for people in vulnerable situations. This is, therefore, a broad set of information that will not only allow the updating of the data collected in 2023, when this topic was individually investigated in the Basic Questionnaires of both surveys, but will also add important inputs for its monitoring at state and municipal levels, given the social relevance of this topic on official agendas. The analyzes are illustrated through charts, tables, graphs and cartograms. The volume also includes technical notes with methodological considerations on both surveys and a glossary with terms and concepts considered essential for understanding the results.

Together, these statistics offer a broad overview of the planning, definition, structure and implementation of public food and nutritional security policies in Brazil, as they make it possible to identify the actions of the Federation Units and Municipalities regarding this topic and the shortcomings that still need to be overcome.

The information now disclosed can also be accessed on the IBGE portal, which also provides complete databases of the surveys and their results tables.
