Pact Against Hunger to Meet Presidential Hopefuls on Food Security Proposals

The "Pacto Contra a Fome" (Pact Against Hunger), a non-partisan organization uniting entities from various sectors, is set to engage with presidential pre-candidates in a series of meetings beginning in June. These discussions will focus on formulating proposals to tackle hunger and food insecurity within Brazil.

Scheduled meetings include discussions with Flávio Bolsonaro (PL), Ronaldo Caiado (PSD), and Romeu Zema (Novo). The organization also anticipates scheduling a meeting with President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT).

During these encounters, the "Pacto Contra a Fome" will present its executive document, "Invitation for a Pact Against Hunger." This document outlines the organization's proposed solutions and provides data on food insecurity and food waste in Brazil. The pact emphasizes that while Brazil has made progress by exiting the "Map of Hunger" this year, the situation remains critical.

"These are important advances, but the problem has not been resolved. Official national data show that 54.7 million Brazilians still live with some degree of food insecurity," the organization stated, highlighting the persistent challenge despite recent positive developments.
