Educação popular e nutrição social: considerações teóricas sobre um diálogo possível

Abstract

No setor saúde, a Educação Popular tem desvelado historicamente perspectivas teóricas e metodológicas relevantes na busca por novos horizontes para formação de profissionais, dentre os quais também se incluem os nutricionistas. Caminhos vêm sendo delineados para uma atuação comprometida com os conceitos da Promoção da Saúde e da Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional, os quais agregam dimensões críticas à Nutrição Social, traduzidas pela percepção compromissada quanto ao papel da ciência da nutrição em comunidades populares e da intervenção do nutricionista nestes espaços. Tendo como objetivo contribuir no aprimoramento das bases teóricas intervenientes neste processo, o presente ensaio pretende sistematizar os atuais desafios, possibilidades e lacunas do encontro entre Educação Popular e Nutrição Social, com ênfase para suas realizações nos cenários da Saúde da Família, e dos movimentos em torno do Direito Humano à Alimentação Adequada e Saudável no Brasil.
