Con base en el enfoque de la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional, este estudio analiza características de producción y disponibilidad de alimentos en América Latina y el Caribe y en el mundo.También analiza las políticas públicas inherentes y, aunque enfoca específicamente el caso de Brasil, las reflexiones pueden aplicarse al ámbito latinoamericano para orientar acciones favorecedoras del derecho humano a una alimentación adecuada. Los datos de la FAO, del periodo 1999FAO, del periodo -2001, revelan disparidades, incluida una dependencia vulnerable al comercio internacional, para viabilizar patrones agroalimentares compatibles con un estado nutricional más adecuado y también con el concepto de desarrollo sostenible.PALABRAS CLAVE: seguridad alimentaria y nutricional, disponiblidad y producción de alimentos, polí-ticas públicas,América Latina Food (in)Security in Latin America and the Caribbean: a Discussion about the Data on Food Production and Availability from the FAO and Brazil's Public Policies Based on a food and nutrition security approach, this paper analyzes the characteristics of food production and availability in Latin America and the Caribbean. It also examines the intrinsic public policies and, even thought it specifically focuses on Brazil, it attempts to reach conclusions that apply to the whole of Latin America in order to guide actions that strengthen the human right to adequate nutrition. FAO's Data for the period 1999-2001 shows disparities, which include a vulnerable dependence on international trade, that hinder the viability of agro-alimentary patterns compatible with an adequate nutrition and the concept of sustainable development.KEY WORDS: food and nutrition security, food availability, food production, public policies, Latin America (In)seguridad alimentaria en América Latina y el Caribe Discusión sobre los datos de producción y disponibilidad de alimentos de la FAO y las políticas públicas en Brasil
