Brazil celebrates advances in access to food with public policies that strengthen family farming, expand social programs and guarantee food security on World Food Day
O World Food Day, celebrated on the last day October 16, takes on new meaning in 2025, when Brazil celebrates significant achievements in the fight against hunger and in promoting fair and sustainable access to food, according to a matter published.
after leaving the UN Hunger Map, the country reaffirms its commitment to public policies that combine social inclusion, support for family production and combating waste.
Programs such as the Family Farming Harvest Plan, the National School Feeding Program (PNAE) and the Food Acquisition Program (PAA) have expanded the reach of healthy foods and strengthened the local economy.

Chicken meat production in Paraná grows with the reopening of the Chinese market and strengthens sustainable exports.
The re-creation of the Ministry of Agrarian Development and Family Farming (MDA) in 2023 also represented a strategic milestone, connecting governments, producers and consumers around the same food security agenda.
Family farming and food security at the heart of public policies
The expansion of policies aimed at family farming and food security has been essential for strengthening national production and valuing small producers.
By 2025, more than 4,5 million families will benefit from programs that encourage sustainable production and access to easy credit, such as Pronaf and PNRA.
These incentives guarantee income in the countryside and expand the supply of fresh and diverse food in schools, markets and local fairs.
O World Food Day reinforces the role of these farmers in building more resilient food systems, capable of facing climate change and economic crises without compromising the population's food security.
Social programs and the fight against hunger drive sustainable development on World Food Day
The set of social programs implemented by the government has been crucial in reducing inequality and food insecurity.
With the expansion of the PAA and PNAE, millions of students and families in vulnerable situations now have daily access to balanced meals.
Furthermore, Rural Development and the Stock Formation Program help to balance supply and prevent food waste.
The presidential sanction of projects that ensure credit and support for marketing reinforces the State's role as an active agent in guaranteeing food sovereignty.
During World Food Day, these advances are recognized as pillars of a sustainable development model that integrates social justice and productive efficiency.
Policies to combat waste and international cooperation for food
Actions aimed at combating waste and promoting international cooperation on food have gained prominence on the national and global agenda.
In September, the president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva sanctioned laws that expand investments and strengthen sustainable production.
At the FAO World Food Forum in Rome, Lula emphasized that the fight against hunger must be a permanent state policy with continuous funding.
World Food Day thus symbolizes not only the celebration of internal achievements, but also Brazil's commitment to building a global network of food solidarity.
Upon reaching less than 2,5% of the population at risk of malnutrition, the country reaffirms its leading role in defending the human right to adequate food.
