Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional, Hábitos Alimentares e condições socioeconômicas na Chapada dos Veadeiros no Brasil Central

A study reveals that food and nutritional security (SAN) varies significantly among municipalities in the Chapada dos Veadeiros region, with Cavalcante showing better conditions (55% of respondents) compared to Teresina de Goiás and Colinas do Sul (both 45%). The research highlights a concerning shift in dietary habits, where locally produced foods are being replaced by processed and industrialized products, particularly during breakfast and snacks. Socioeconomic challenges, including low income and limited education, further exacerbate food insecurity in these areas. The study employed the Brazilian Food Insecurity Scale (EBIA), semi-structured interviews, and dietary assessments to uncover these trends.
